Insight
This update fixes several issues in draksnapshot:
The draksnapshot applet received the following fixes:
- on desktop startup, it will wait for 30s before checking for available disc so that notification is positioned at the right place, on the applet icon
- it prevents crashing if DBus is not reachable, and reports DBus errors
- it prevents crashing if DBus is active, but HAL is not (#44434) - if all discs are unmounted, the applet will hide (#41176) - it prevents running more than once
- it uses HAL in order to detect discs available for backup, thus fixing detecting some internal SATA discs as discs available for backup (#41107)
It also uses new icons from Mandriva Linux 2009.0.
The draksnapshot configuration tool also received the following fixes:
- it stops saving config when clicking Close (#39790) one has to
click on Apply in order to save the config
- on first run, it offers backup in mounted disc path, instead of defaulting to some place in the root filesystem which could previously be filled up (#39802)
- it no longer offers to configure some obscure advanced options - it now allows for disabling backups
- it generates anacron-friendly cron files
