Bug Description

When trying to send an sms the text box which has holds the number is replaced with a label saying "Custom Widget Failed".

A Mandrake user had a similar problem
http://archives.mandrivalinux.com/cooker/2005-11/msg03219.php

His solution (compiling with -rdynamic) did not work for me however

When run in a terminal I get this warning.
(gnome-phone-manager:13685): libglade-WARNING **: could not find widget creation function

This is on mad64 (amusing typo)

I can confirm this, and there is a fix upstream in CVS, apparently: [from gnome-bluetooth mailing list]:

This was fixed a couple of weeks ago in CVS:
2006-02-01 Bastien Nocera <hadess at hadess.net>

        * configure.in: add gmodule-2.0 to the needed libraries, to get
        -rdynamic and avoid the entry not showing up

This is the patch:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/phonemgr/configure.in?r1=1.29&r2=1.30

Cheers
