| Type: | Bug Fix Advisory |
| Severity: | N/A |
| Issued on: | 2012-02-20 |

Details
Updated switchdesk packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
The Desktop Switcher is a tool which enables users to easily switch between
various desktop environments that they have installed. The tool includes support
for KDE, GNOME, Xfce4 and twm.
This update fixes the following bugs:
* Prior to this update, the Desktop Switcher was not able to start with the
kn_IN or te_IN locales set. This update corrects the problem so that the Desktop
Switcher now works with the kn_IN or te_IN locales set, as expected. (BZ#513600)
* The shebang lines in Python executables have been changed to
"#!/usr/bin/python" to ensure the Python interpreter installed in the system is
used. (BZ#521285)
All users of switchdesk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.
