With Ubuntu Karmic: pixmaps location,RC files get wrong location!

I Have the same problem on Ubuntu 9.10. My workaround:

Replace in $HOME/.openerprc

FROM:
pixmaps = /usr/share/pixmaps/openerp-client
share = /usr/share/openerp-client

TO
pixmaps = /usr/local/share/pixmaps/openerp-client
share = /usr/local/share/openerp-client

Also affects v 5.07
Dist= Karmic (ubuntu9.10)

(openerp-client.py:1952): libglade-WARNING **: Error loading image: Tõrge faili '/usr/local/share/openerp-client/pixmaps/openerp_logo.png' avamisel: No such file or directory

And openerp_logo.png location is:
/usr/local/share/pixmaps/openerp-client/openerp_logo.png

My question is What distro using developers when they not see so simple errors? Or they not care?

My workaround:

run script (its not correct way fix that bug but works):

#!/bin/sh
#

mkdir /usr/local/share/openerp-client/pixmaps

ln -s /usr/local/share/pixmaps/openerp-client/openerp_logo.png /usr/local/share/openerp-client/pixmaps/

After installing openerp-client 5.0.11 on Lucid Lynx I have to same problem. The workaround worked fine for me, but I guess that it is still an issue in the most recent version of the client.

Yes i think that is true. My problem is i to not understand Python language and can not make correct fix. I founded lot stupid bugs in OpenErp and fixed them with sell scripts. To me is hard to understand why OpenERP team is so passive to fix easy bugs like that! Most an owing is they even no fix them if i show how fix them.
Ok where is the problem! Is so hard build script what detecting distribution and puts files in right place in installation time!? Using simple shell script its easy to make and takes max five minit! Haw hard is to that with Python?
I think OpenERP team simple not cares... That is weakest part whole OpenERP project.

It is not only GTK-client, but also webclient.....

I agree.

Reassigning to Stephane, he worked a lot on the packaging and setup.py scripts, it may be fixed already or may soon be

Noup it is NOT fixed!
Client 5.0.15
Ubuntu 10.10

Notice Trunk 6.0 RC2 seems have same type bug!!!

Traceback (most recent call last):

Updated workaround for stable 5.0.15:

#!/bin/bash
sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/openerp-client/pixmaps
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/pixmaps/openerp-client/* /usr/local/share/openerp-client/pixmaps/

Devs what Distro you are using for testing software? I need to know. Then easier to debug when i can compare Openerp installs with ubuntu. Umbutu is moust usable Linux distro in world! That means testing with Ubuntu is MAST BE AND CLITICAL!!!

this should be solved in lp:~tfr/openobject-client/tfr-packaging

What about 6.0 RC2? Still i get:

....
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openerp_client-6.0.0_rc2-py2.6.egg/openerp-client/widget/view/form_gtk/parser.py", line 915, in <module>

    REQUIRED_IMG = file(common.terp_path_pixmaps("image_required.png"), 'rb').read()
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'image_required.png'

back on it again, i am not using karmic, so cannot say its fixed or not.
