Package: gnomemeeting
Version: 1.0.2-5
Severity: normal
A dialog keeps popping up if I have an gnomemeeting session open idle
in the background. The message is "cannot contact the user directory:
Failed to bind to user directory: Can't contact LDAP server". In and
of itself, the message is a little strange, I don't have any hint as
to what happened, and why it was trying to contact the server, but
this bug is specifically about it not providing any hint whatsoever
that the error message belongs to gnomemeeting. I had to query my
window manager to find out what Class it had. There is no dialog title
that mentions gnomemeeting, nothing in the error message text.
Please make sure all dialogs that aren't specifically opened by the
user, tell the user what program they belong to.
