ROX Desktop

AddApp 0.7 (create ROX application launchers) has been released.

You can install it by entering this URL into AddApp:

  http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/AddApp

To upgrade:

- Right click on the application and choose 'Versions...' from the menu.
- Click on 'Refresh all now'.
- Ensure 'Help test new versions' is selected.

For more information, including package downloads, see:

  http://rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/AddApp

Changes in 0.7:

- Added support for local and distribution implementations. A local
  implementation is a self-contained directory which the user has
  installed manually (e.g. an svn checkout). A distribution
  implementation is one installed by a traditional package manager and
  is not self-contained.

- When showing help for a program, use the new 'doc-dir' attribute in
  the feed if possible. Only look for a ROX-style Help directory if the
  attribute is missing.

- If a feed has a <needs-terminal> element, run it in a suitable
  terminal emulator (x-terminal-emulator, or a fallback if that's
  missing).

- If a feed has no main attribute, don't just report the error; refuse
  to create the launcher too!

- When choosing 'Versions...' from the menu, don't pass the --versions
  option through to 0launch. Normally it doesn't make any difference,
  because we're in download-only mode, but it matters when testing the
  program to report a bug.

- If we have injector 0.19 or later, use the icon from that instead of
  downloading another one.

That's what I tried. I'm using Debian/Etch, Python 2.4.4. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Something about python not liking unsafe sgid bits?
