I don't think I am using threading. What happens is gnome-session starts
up a bunch of apps all at the same time. So each app that needs fam,
starts up the gam_server. After this it's a race for the multiple
instances of gam_server to get the abstract socket first. whichever
instance gets the socket succeeds and the other instances fail (Which
then causes gnome-settings-daemon to crash).

I think I am using latest CVS, but I will try again tonight.
