Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Problem with gconf!

[Guilhem Tardy <guilhem_tardy yahoo com>]

Results from adding that line to main_window.cpp were unexpected. Instead of
the simple "Please check your gconf settings and permissions, it seems that
gconf is not properly setup on your system" message window, I get...

1- the splash screen
2- in the console:
     GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
     Could not open network socket.
     2002-03-28T11:36:46-0500  2002-03-28T11:36:46-0500
3- a message window "Application './gnomemeeting' (process 12867) has crashed
due to fatal eror. (Segmentation fault)

As I wrote, this is unexpected a result, because I didn't change anything else,
so if it was
  (gconf_test == NULL || strcmp (gconf_test, BUILD_ID))
before, it should be still now.

And it shouldn't, as you can see that both times are identical.
Actually, there is one difference: I run this one from the current directory
(/home/pci2103/gmeeting/src), where otherwise I ran the earlier version from
/home/pci2103/ or from the path (/opt/gnome/bin).

Is there any type of racing issue with GM? I remember with an earlier version
that I had to add a sleep(2) in what has become now gnomemeeting.cpp if I
wanted to add some code elsewhere (mostly in main_window.cpp).

BTW, I use gcc 2.95.3, and ld 2.11.90.0.29 right out of a standard Suse7.3
distribution.
