System name:		cheshire-cat.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 9.2.15 (with mkserv)
Display type:		 nVidia Corporation NV5 [RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro] (rev 15)

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		sawfish

What were you trying to do?
Properly display and use the GNOME control center.

What's wrong:

Two "Control Center" icons showed up, which are rather useless, since
I already opened the Control Center.  The File Management icon is the
default foot icon.  The Screensaver icon is also the foot, and
furthermore, when it is double-clicked, does nothing, and also prints
to the xterm I started it from:

** WARNING **: Unable reach the control-center.
Exiting...

I believe this was mentioned before, as well, though "More
Preferences" should be integrated into "Preferences"

What should have happened:

No Control Center icons should be displayed, the File Management icon
should not show the foot, the screensaver icon should not show the
foot, and the screensaver button should work.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
