SPE fails to run any scripts after upgrade to jaunty

stani wrote on 2009-05-22:

The minimal patch is only changing one line:
sudo gedit /usr/bin/spe

Change this line:
MIN_WX_VERSION = '2.5.4.1'

into:
MIN_WX_VERSION = '2.8'

After that you can run your scripts happily again. I'll prepare an official patch and attach it to this bug.

nautilus script : copy selected path to clipboard

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
# file copy_sel_path_to_clipboard.py

import os, gtk #, glob

def showme(s):
  os.system('gmessage -center -title "Path" "' + str(s) + '"')

tmp = os.environ['NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS']
fns = tmp.strip().split('\n')     #filenames
if len(fns) == 1 :
  cb = gtk.clipboard_get()
  cb.set_text(fns[0])
  cb.store()
else :
  showme('Only 1 file must be selected')

Keep theme for sudo and root sessions

sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root/.themes
sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root/.icons
sudo ln -s ~/.fonts /root/.fonts
