Bug#428670: deskbar-applet: The configuration of websearches may not work

[Hongzheng Wang]

Package: deskbar-applet
Version: 2.18.1-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

The `web searches' handler provides an option to decide if all of the
browsers' search engines should be offered.  This configuration is
implemented by looking for `browser.search.selectedEngine' key value in
prefs.js.  Such a mechanism may not work when browser, say iceweasel,
uses its default one: Google, because the key
`browser.search.selectedEngine' does not exist at all in prefs.js when
the selected engine of iceweasel is Google.  Therefore, this mechanism
only works when the selected engine of browser is configured to other
engines.  To be worse, when a user changes the selected engine from some
one to Google, the already setted key will be deleted from prefs.js.
