Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.19) Gecko/20081204 SeaMonkey/1.1.14

http://download.mozilla.org/?product=seamonkey-1.1.14&os=linux&lang=en-US

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download seamonkey-1.1.14.en-US.linux-i686.installer.tar.gz from http://download.mozilla.org/?product=seamonkey-1.1.14&os=linux&lang=en-US ... Decompress it.


2. Read its README file at the bottom of it where it says: "To hook up SeaMonkey complete with icon to the GNOME Panel, follow these steps:

1. Click the GNOME Main Menu button, open the Panel menu, and then open the Add to Panel submenu and choose Launcher.

2. Right-click the icon for SeaMonkey on the Panel and enter the following command:
  directory_name./seamonkey

where directory_name is the name of the directory you downloaded SeaMonkey to. For example, the default directory that SeaMonkey suggests is /usr/local/seamonkey.

3. Type in a name for the icon, and type in a comment if you wish.

4. Click the icon button and type in the following as the icon's location:

  directory_name/icons/mozicon50.xpm

where directory name is the directory where you installed SeaMonkey. For example, the default directory is /usr/local/seamonkey/icons/mozicon50.xpm."

--

Others and I were unable to find mozicon50.xpm file.
Actual Results:  
mozicon50.xpm file does not exist.

Expected Results:  
mozicon50.xpm file should exist or README needs to be corrected.

Others and I (see my "Re: What happened to IceApe (aka SeaMonkey)?" newsgroup thread posted on 2/28/2009 7:13 AM PST) could not find SeaMonkey v1.1.14's icon in the installed directory? seamonkey-installer's README said:

To hook up SeaMonkey complete with icon to the GNOME Panel, follow these steps:

1. Click the GNOME Main Menu button, open the Panel menu, and then open the Add to Panel submenu and choose Launcher.

2. Right-click the icon for SeaMonkey on the Panel and enter the following command:
  directory_name./seamonkey

where directory_name is the name of the directory you downloaded SeaMonkey to. For example, the default directory that SeaMonkey suggests is /usr/local/seamonkey.

3. Type in a name for the icon, and type in a comment if you wish.

4. Click the icon button and type in the following as the icon's location:

  directory_name/icons/mozicon50.xpm

where directory name is the directory where you installed SeaMonkey. For example, the default directory is /usr/local/seamonkey/icons/mozicon50.xpm.

After running updatedb command as root:
$ locate mozicon50.xpm
/usr/share/iceweasel/chrome/icons/default/mozicon50.xpm
/usr/share/iceweasel/icons/mozicon50.xpm
/usr/share/xulrunner-1.9/icons/mozicon50.xpm

Thank you in advance. :)

Is this probably in the README of SeaMonkey 2 versions as well? If not, I don't think it's worth to put any work into 1.1.x only.

Comment 2

[Jens Hatlak (:InvisibleSmiley)]

From the seamonkey-2.0a2.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 README:
{{
4. Click the icon button and type in the following as the icon's location:

       directory_name/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm

     where directory_name is the directory where you installed SeaMonkey.
     For example, the default directory is
     /usr/local/seamonkey/chrome/icons/default/default.xpm.
}}

It's almost right--the file is called default.png now.

KaiRo, since I don't have checkin rights and it's a simple change, can you do this directly without a patch (mind: two occurences in the README file)? Then I'd say resolve the bug, I agree that it's not worth updating the SM1.x README.

Comment 3

[Robert Kaiser]

Actually, checkins without patch/review are nothing we really do like in our process, even for small things - unless it's about bustage fixes.

Comment 4

[Jens Hatlak (:InvisibleSmiley)]

Attachment: correct extension

Three months without progress, even setting "good first bug" didn't help... sigh.
