we could either connect to the 'activate-link' signal or just rely on default behaviour

Can you test this patch?
As root, in a terminal, just run the following commands:

cd /usr/lib/libDrakX
patch -p1 < /where/it/has/been/downloaded/12527.diff

then just close & restart your session

Though this is a real but, what's strange is that you were on mga4 on you got a new distro notification (which shouldn't happen before 9 monthes when mga5 will be out)

it's not the first time I see this (but don't have bug/something concrete in mind now :/)
is api correct https://releases.mageia.org/api/b/i586 btw ?

[root@localhost libDrakX]# patch -p1 < /home/pascal/Téléchargements/12527.diff
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

I pushed one in core/updates_testing.
It needs being validated.

If this is for QA it will need to be reopened and advisory/srpms/rpms added please.

-------------
This update:
- include strings from mgaapplet-update-checker & mgaapplet-upgrade-helper
- restore old translations
- fix some gtk2 -> gtk3 migration fallouts (mga#12527)
- fix crashing if there's not notification daemon (mga#12416)

SRPM: mgaonline-3.10-1.mga4.src.rpm

Hardware: i586 => All

Thanks Manuel. Need the RPMs too please.

looks to be only mgaonline-3.10-1.mga4.noarch.rpm

Increasing priority as this appears to be affecting systems just upgraded

Severity: normal => major

and again so it changes colour..

Severity: major => critical

x86_64: tested mgaonline-3.10-1.mga4

After install successfully found and installed pidgin and lib64purple0.

CC: (none) => deri

Same arch, same result here.

CC: (none) => stormi

As Deri tested, works under mga4-32, updated pidgin etc.

Just needs advisory to svn for update.

CC: (none) => wrw105
Whiteboard: MGA4-64-OK => MGA4-64-OK mga4-32-ok
