first of all, please upgrade to 0.1.0, since 0.0.96 is quite old and will give
you many problems with Bonobo.

I suppose you mean the /tmp/gda-xxx-srv.log file? If so, this has been fixed
in post-0.0.96 versions, since now log messages don't go to that file, but
to GConf. And GConf stores this information per-user, so the problem you're
referring to does not exist anymore.

you're right. So thinking about this, I'm glad to have changed this issue for
post-0.0.96 versions.
