Race condition with gnome-name-service

["Momchil 'Velco' Velikov" <velco fadata bg>]

Hi, folks.

There seems to be a race condition when starting gnome-name-service.

Say, I have .Xclients like this:
----8<----
enlightenment &
exec gnome-session
----8<----
Session manager starts the name service and then the panel
and panel dies in goad_server_register(), since gnome_name_service_get()
returns CORBA_OBJECT_NIL. The attached patch fixes the problem (for me).

Regards,
