AIUI, the real bug is in Thunderbird so that's where the real fix needs to be done. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367203 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222349 > As noted in this list and in Fedora-testing, gtk2 2.10.8 breaks drag > and drop in Thunderbird email (and Seamonkey and Firefox, AFAIK), > and I keep having to remove the new gtk2 on my systems and install > the last working version, which was > > gtk2-2.10.4-10.fc6.i386.rpm You can add gtk2* to the excludes line in yum.conf if you want to avoid each update pulling it back in. > The Thunderbird update released yesterday does not correct the drag > and drop problem for individual email items (at least on my > systems), although it does correct it for groups of selected emails. Which update is that? I don't see any new Thunderbird updates at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/ (nor in the testing repo either). Perhaps I'm just being dense or maybe the web interface is not up to date. The latest Thunderbird I can find is thunderbird-1.5.0.9-2.fc6.i386, dated 20-Dec-2006 17:56. > Aren't fundamental changes in the API for libraries like gtk2 supposed > to be reserved for major releases, such as FC7? I don't know that there was a fundamental API change in gtk here. I think it was just a bug fix that exposed a bug in several of the Mozilla products. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum -- I think that I think, therefore I think that I am. -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
