system-config-services

[Nils Philippsen]

All,

since I'm the culprit I might add a few words. First, I've put the
previous version up at:

http://people.redhat.com/nphilipp/BETA/system-config-services/system-config-services-0.8.10-1.noarch.rpm

Just so you're not stuck with a broken one ;-).

Grm. Typo, fixed this in CVS already. Note to myself: at least start the
stuff once so you don't run out of brown paper bags.

It's not specific to your system, it was an attempt to make the UI non-
blocking while running external commands that somehow slipped in...

I shall fix that one shortly, either by backing the change out or by
making it work.

Sorry for the hassle,
Nils
