[Bug 97185] D-Bus can't be used to start Gaim service

[Kristoffer Lundén]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gaim

D-Bus can't be used to start Gaim service, because the gaim.service file
is malformed.

* Ubuntu 6.10
* Gaim 1:2.0.0+beta6-0ubuntu4

See also upstream Debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=404293

Steps to reproduce:

Run command: dbus-send --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus
org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName string:'org.gaim.GaimService'
uint32:0

Expected result: Gaim starts :)

Actual result (with --print-reply):

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute
program ${exec_prefix}/bin/gaim: No such file or directory

This  is because /usr/share/dbus-1/services/gaim.service contains the
line:

Exec=${exec_prefix}/bin/gaim

All other service files have hardcoded paths.

Simple solution, replace with:

Exec=/usr/bin/gaim

** Affects: gaim (Ubuntu)
