Description JP Rosevear 2007-09-25 13:07:18 UTC 
I dragged yast2 from the alt-f2 menu after entering "yast2".  It does not launch from the main menu, the error on the command line is:

** (slab:1956): WARNING **: error launching file:///tmp/yast2-4.desktop [The location or file could not be found.]

This is working for me in RC2.
Comment 2 JP Rosevear 2007-10-02 20:55:55 UTC 
Dragging from the icon in the alt-f2 run dialog seems to be the key.  Dragging from the app browser/cc worked fine.  Gedit worked fine dragging from the same place.

Perhaps its related to the yast2 binary not being in the path.
Comment 3 James Krehl 2007-10-29 21:27:53 UTC 
Yeah, because "yast2" is not in the standard user's path, the .desktop file that the run-dialog creates is of type "Link" not of type "Application".  "Link" types do not have an Exec field and the main-menu doesn't know what to do with them.  I have a fix ready which makes the main-menu ignore non-"Application" .desktop types.  This will not allow you to drag yast2 from the run-dialog to the main-menu, but it will also not let main-menu create a useless item in the "Favorites" list.
Comment 4 James Krehl 2007-10-29 23:25:03 UTC 
I submitted this to autobuild.
Comment 5 Ruediger Oertel 2007-11-20 00:09:37 UTC 
just submitting makes the package sit there forever.
for any update for a released product we need a SWAMPID and a patchinfo
file.

Anja: update approved ?

Jimmy committed this to svn awhile ago. The latest svn tarball has recently been submited to factory so - this is fixed in 11.0.
