Gnome 1.0 problems with ipfwadm filter

["Scott Tyson" <tysons deepwell com>]

Greetings -

In trying to setup an ipfwadm filter on my workstation I've run into some interesting behavior with gnome 1.0.
I found this by setting my filters, rebooting and having Gnome 1.0/Enlightenment 0.15 hang about 3/4 of the way into its startup.  I then switched to Gnome 1.0/Windowmaker and the same thing happened.  So when the system hung the second time I hit ctrl+alt+F1 to bring up the console and there was a very strange network command that was hung.  Here is the command:

SESSION_MANAGER=local/mymachine.domain.com: /tmp/ICE.unix/390, tcp/mymachine.domain.com:1025
(i've replaced the real name of my workstation with mymachine.domain.com)

I hit ctrl+c to kill X and then tried it again.  I found that the 390 and 1025 (both port addresses?) would change everytime.  Does anyone have any idea what this is and why would gnome be establishing what looks like a loopback tcp connection.

Thanks,
Scott
