           Summary: recorder has path to glade and icons file paths
                    hardcoded in script
           Product: dogtail
           Version: CVS HEAD
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Recorder
        AssignedTo: dogtail-maint gnome bugs
        ReportedBy: timlee novell com

   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


In the recorder script has the path to the glade and icon files hard coded in
the script. For example:

x = gtk.glade.XML('/usr/share/dogtail/glade/recorder.glade')

Which causes problems if you install to a different prefix.

So I worked around this by adding code like this (admittedly not very elegant):

        exec_root = sys.argv[0].split("/bin/")[0]
        if exec_root[0] is not '/':
            exec_root = "/usr"

        try:
            x = gtk.glade.XML('recorder.glade')
        except RuntimeError:
            x = gtk.glade.XML(exec_root +
'/share/dogtail/glade/recorder.glade')
