I'm looking for help with a problem in the reportbug GTK ui (bug
#964846). The GTK ui has code that uses VTE to run certain commands in a terminal. These commands include package-specific bug scripts and user-selected external MUAs used for bug submission. The problem is that
MUA invocation often fails if xdg-email is used.

This has been resolved by avoiding to run commands in a terminal where possible, as already indicated in the previous message to this list.

The part I haven't understood yet is the mechanism used by VTE to keep
track of child processes in order to kill them. If someone has more
knowledge on that, I'd be interested, but it is no longer important.

Thanks!

Hi Nis,

I think that this is not simple question...
I m in this mailing list but I dont know spawn very well.

Anyway I can said to you ... pay few attention at this change.
Perapse async is more dinamic...
But you will manage in some way the sync service or tool or demon anyway in order to base of. In example by some tail... if there are a service in base
...

Bye,

Sorry for my not very well English
