[Bug 460860] Re: old prism apps just stop working after upgrade

[Micah Gersten]

** Description changed:

+ WORKAROUND:
+ Edit the .desktop file and change xulrunner-1.9 to prism in the EXEC line
+ 
  Binary package hint: prism
  
  Apparently, the way prism works changed significantly between the jaunty
  and karmic versions, and the launchers that i had made just stopped
  working. There was no warning about this, no error message, nothing. I
  clicked my old launcher, nothing happened.
  
  The old launchers had an exec line like this:
  xulrunner-1.9 /usr/share/prism/application.ini -webapp my.mail at prism.app
  While the new one looks like this:
  "prism" -override "/home/bgruber/.webapps/my.mail at prism.app/override.ini" -webapp my.mail at prism.app
  
  A separate bug I guess, but "prism --help" doesn't even report -override
  or -webapp as a possible options. Nor does the prism man page for that
  matter.
  
  Looking more closely, it seems as if the config data has moved from
  .prism to .webapp. I would expect there to be, at the very least, a
  notation in the changelog, maybe a warning that my old prism apps would
  cease to work properly. At best, there should be something to help me
  update them.
