I'm running into a problem
with Gnome applications trying
to talk to gconfd when they are spawned from 2 different servers at the
same time to an LTSP thin client machine. I'm wondering if I can share
/tmp from two different
machines. If I could, I believe this problem would vanish because
gconfd
seems to connect to something called orbit through a file socket in
/tmp for each user. All the Gnome applications want to register their
preferences there. Another problem might arise when different servers
have Gnome applications based on different versions of Gnome -- maybe
they have a different schema or protocol that gconfd uses. I want to
mix and match applications from different distributions into the
X-Windows thin client environment. So if somebody wants to run a
testing version of Evolution, they can. Or if they need to run
nautilus, they have choices of which version of Nautilus to run.
Firefox seems to spawn a gconfd session from my gentoo box at work.
Then when I try launching some gnome programs next on the main desktop
server they have errors about Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0-- Network Administrator NEL Frequency Controls, Inc. |
