Description Dave Hodgins 2013-07-20 21:36:00 CEST

If /bin is in the path, prior to /usr/bin, which is true after an install
from the dual-cd, selecting default package selection, then mypaint
fails to start.

The script /usr/bin/mypaint uses /bin/mypaint as the starting point,
and then looks for /lib64/mypaint/ and /share/mypaint/

Possible methods of fixing the problem ...
- Ensure /bin is never in the path
- ln -s /usr/share /share
- Change the script to run the equivalent of readlink -f /bin/mypaint,
after it finds itself, so that it will work whether /bin exists, or is
a symlink to /usr/bin.

For LXDE, MATE (mypaint-1.1.0-5.mga5):
[user@localhost ~]$ mypaint

We are not correctly installed or compiled!
script: "/bin/mypaint"
deduced prefix: "/"
lib_shared: "/share/mypaint/"
lib_compiled: "/lib/mypaint/"

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bin/mypaint", line 170, in <module>
    datapath, extradata, confpath, localepath, localepath_brushlib = get_paths()
  File "/bin/mypaint", line 111, in get_paths
    from lib import mypaintlib
ImportError: No module named lib

Workaround:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/usr/lib/qt4/bin:/usr/lib/qt5/bin

With workaround in LXDE:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/mypaint/gui/toolbar.py", line 755, in on_size_allocate
    self._update()
  File "/usr/share/mypaint/gui/toolbar.py", line 776, in _update
    scaled_pixbuf = self._get_scaled_pixbuf(s)
  File "/usr/share/mypaint/gui/toolbar.py", line 760, in _get_scaled_pixbuf
    return theme.load_icon(gtk.STOCK_MISSING_IMAGE, size, 0)
glib.GError: Icon 'gtk-missing-image' not present in theme

mypaint works in KDE.

Fixed usage of deprecated STOCK_MISSING_IMAGE and startup issue after usrmove in mypaint-1.1.0-6.mga5.

Mga3 is EOL, but fixed in Cauldron.
