Hi guys,
I'm noticing some odd behavior from gconfd-2; first off, it seems
that when I logout, whether with kill -HUP $XSESSION or with the
logout menu option, it doesn't die nicely, and causes lots of gnome
configuration problems next time I log in. Is this expected? Did I
frob a config file somewhere on my system that I shouldn't have?
I have better luck with the menu logout, but even then, gconfd seems
to die a little bit late and it produces "afs: failed to store file"
messages, which suggests that it might be losing some recent
configuration changes.
Odder still, sometimes when I log in, multiple copies of gconfd start
up (usually between 1 and 3 copies), and these step on each other
and do odd things like emptying the panel, making two panels, or
causing configuration errors.
And a dumb question: How do I switch from the default RedHat main
menu to the Athena one?
Any ideas? Thanks!
Kai-yuh
