RHBA-2005:572 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
control-center bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated control-center package that fixes a memory leak bug is now
available.
Description
GNOME (the GNU Network Object Model Environment) is an attractive and
easy-to-use graphical desktop environment. The control-center package
provides the GNOME Control Center utilities, which allows setup and
configuration of a system's GNOME environment (such as the desktop
background and theme, the screensaver, the window manager, system sounds,
and mouse behavior). If GNOME is installed, control-center is required.
This updated package addresses the following issue:
- Memory leaks in gnome-settings-daemon are triggered by changes in
keyboard settings.
All users of control-center should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
