[Bug 204496] Re: gnome-schedule GTK About Box frozen and help nonfunctional

[xtknight]

** Description changed:

  Install gnome-schedule.
  Run it.
  
  Help->About, try to close it --> dialog frozen
  Help->Manual --> missing: Unable to find the help files in either /usr/share/gnome/help/ or /usr/share/gnome/help/.  Please check your installation
+ 
+ --
+ Gutsy SRU Notes:
+ 
+ 1. The Help About menu and Help topics are not available to anyone using
+ Gutsy.
+ 
+ 2. The python method of calling up the Manual was modified.
+     The About Box now closes properly because the dialog is destroyed after it is opened.
+ 
+    Single package modified:
+    gnome-schedule 1.0.0-2 --> gnome-schedule 1.0.0-2ubuntu1
+ 
+ 3. See the Gutsy patch attached to this report.  This patches against
+ Gutsy version 1.0.0-2.
+ 
+ 4. TEST CASE:
+ $ sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule
+ $ gnome-schedule
+ 
+ Follow the steps in the report: Try Help->About, and try to close the
+ about box.  Try Help->Manual.  There is an error in bringing up the
+ manual.
+ 
+ Expected results: About Box should close, the manual should come up
+ without errors.
+ 
+ 5. There should be no regressions with a fix like this unless the user
+ has somehow modified their package to a point where this fix would be
+ unsuitable (e.g. for some reason moving the help files).
