Trusty box fully updated. Steps to reproduce the bug: Click Menu icon and navigate to Settings Manager -> Desktop. Click on the 'Help' button of the Desktop Settings dialog. Expected behavior: Xfdesktop online documentation should open web browser at http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/4.11/start. Actual beahavior: Help button isn't triggering the expected opening of the online documentation. In fact there's apparently no click event associated with the said button. ~$ apt-cache policy xfdesktop4 xfdesktop4: Installed: 4.11.3-2ubuntu1 Candidate: 4.11.3-2ubuntu1 Version table: *** 4.11.3-2ubuntu1 0 500 http://pt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ~$ lsb_release -a && uname -r Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch) Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty 3.14.0-031400rc5-generic
This isn't a bug in xfdesktop since the help button won't work for xfce4-settings or anything that calls xfce_dialog_show_help. The fix for that bug is http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10739 The other thing you bring up is more of a feature request - to point to versioned docs. There's 2 commits in master for that: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=67a8cfb24fc4131e6cd74a52901e5389cc9b6757 http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=d27d14f242cbd94fcfbdf881d62c6e2b60f806a7 I pushed the 2nd commit because even if the change in xfce4-settings never lands, the help button will continue to function. The requested change for xfce4-settings is here: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10740 Hope this helps!
The non-versioned help patch was fixed and xfdesktop now can do versioned help. Marking resolved.
I can confirm it. Thanks for that.
