I have bonobo 1.0.7 installed as an RPM (prefix=/usr), and I always install Gnome-DB
from sources under prefix=/usr/local. This is the first time I have some problems.
I have solved to gnomedb-fe.xml problem by making a symlink from /usr/share/gnome/ui/gnomedb-fe.xml
to /usr/local/share/gnome/ui/gnomedb-fe.xml. Now there aren't anymore errors on startup
of gnomedb-fe. But it seems it can't find any component to display: I get an empty working
area. strange. If I try to load the connection manager from gASQL, it works

the crash occurs in the bonobo_get_object() function call.
When I use the gda-test program, it works nicely...

Here is what this gives:
Message: Successfully registered `OAFIID:Bonobo_Moniker_std_Factory'

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x405eb9b3 in CORBA_Object_duplicate () from /usr/lib/libORBit.so.0

This morning, I've also had some strange crashes I don't really explain.
