Bug#552408: deskbar-applet: Computer Actions backend is not available

[Apelete Seketeli]

Package: deskbar-applet
Version: 2.28.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Since the upgrade to 2.28 deskbar-applet does not provide the computer actions
backend anymore. It's therefore no longer possible to shutdown, restart or log
out using deskbar in Debian Sid.
I do not know if the backend is actually failing to load or if it has been
disabled on purpose due to gdm's state in Debian (the associated python scripts
still lie in /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible but
there's no handler in /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.5/deskbar/handlers whereas
previous versions had one).

Regards.
