gnome apps and automounting

[David Holden <dh iucr org>]

Hi,

I automount my home directory, e.g. from /export/home/xx I see my home
as /home/xx


Now when I start certain gnome apps in my home directory /home/xx, e.g.
galeon, they seem to search for pixmaps/png files in several places, one
of which is ../, i.e. /home/.

for example strace gives for one


1707 stat64("../dir_open.png", 0xbffff610)   = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)


which means that automount is trying to mount files that don't exist
when certain gnome apps start, e.g. lines like this appear in the syslog


Nov 29 20:19:19 ojuelaite automount[2001]: lookup(file): lookup for
smart-bm-unfold.png failed


 Is this normal?

thanks,

             Dave.
