When launching mintsources, timeshift or an app which Exec field (in the desktop file)
starts with pkexec, nothing happens and the output states:
"Refusing to render service to dead parents."
For some reason this does not happen on fresh LMDE 4 and Mint 19.3 installations,
but it happens on LMDE 3 -> LMDE 4 and 19.1 -> 19.3 upgrades.
Similar bugs were fixed in nemo and cinnamon. Pkexec is known to cause issues
depending on how it's launched.
Specifying DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD in the spawn flags helps here. Afaik it makes it so
we're the parent of the pkexec process during launch. Pkexec fails to launch
otherwise.
gather_pid_callback() does nothing, it's just there to ack the pid callback. Afaik
this helps preventing zombie [defunct] processes when they terminate.
mozo was fixed in 1.22.1 (new items can be created again).
menulibre suffers a new regression (new items are duplicated).
Prefer the homegrown solution again...
* system management: fix number of callback arguments
fixes runtime warning:
TypeError: changePluginSize() takes exactly 4 arguments (3 given)
looks like it was overlooked in 66f76df4d3
* places: remove leftover argument from callback
Since the move to GTK3 custom color support is extremely hacky and buggy:
- It relies on gtk_widget_override_color() which is deprecated
- Only one call to gtk_widget_override_color() is functional, successive
calls are ignored, leading to the menu not changing colors when the custom
colors are changed or enabled/disabled.
- RegenPlugins leads to a loss of color.
- Theme changes are broken due to overridden colors.
The feature is also very niche and quite unecessary. If a custom color is
better than the default one we should apply the change in the theme or
define a new theme which inherits ours and simply defines the menu
differently.
The way to do this, in line with GTK's design, is via CSS at theme level.
