[Bug 72192] Re: No graphics in 5.4.11

[dAniel hAhler]

I can confirm this somehow, but it's expected: the button is only enabled, if the result supports it (clientgui/ViewWorkGrid.cpp).
Grepping the source for "supports_graphics" shows this from checkin_notes_2006:
David  30 June 2006
    - core client: ACTIVE_TASK::supports_graphics():
        return false if process isn't executing.
        (prevent GUI from showing "show graphics" button
        for results with no process, or suspended process)

So a result must have a graphic attached and the process must be active currently.
This is the case for me with the FightAIDS at Home 5.42 application (from the World Community Grid project): the button is not grayed out for it, but nothing happens when I click it.
I'll rebuild the packages with "--enable-debug" and see if there's any hint.
