Description Aaron Sowry cendio 2012-11-29 16:23:00 CET 
My guess is that RHEL6's pygtk is not recent enough to support creating trusted desktop files. Traceback:
---
Running /opt/thinlinc/etc/xstartup.d/35-tl-desktop-activate.sh
Traceback (most recent call last):

pyxdg, not pygtk

Somewhat related to https://www.cendio.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4245

(didn't we have a metabug for all of these issues?)
Comment 3 Peter Åstrand cendio 2013-07-03 10:03:16 CEST 
Happened on SLED11SP2. Solved by removing packages:

python-xdg-0.16-2.17 sabayon-2.28.1-0.2.107.i586 sabayon-lang-2.28.1-0.2.107.i586 sabayon-admin-2.28.1-0.2.107.i586
Comment 4 Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2013-08-21 18:10:49 CEST 
Moved pyxdg into the thinlinc namespace and adjusted our usage of pyxdg to make sure it's our own version we use.

Commits: 27790, 27791, 27792, 27793, 27794.
Comment 5 Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2013-08-23 10:52:52 CEST 
Tested with a nightly build, works fine now.
Comment 6 Peter Åstrand cendio 2013-10-21 13:17:33 CEST 
Works on RHEL6 both with and without python-xdg/sabayon.
