RE: running applets as root crashes gnome panel

["Paul Keenan" <paul keenan motorola com>]

Jake,

It could be accessing older preference files depending on
exactly how you are logging on as root.

My Gnome was crashing until I deleted /home/paul/.gnome and
restarted.  Perhaps your root has a similar problem; you
could temporarily rename /root/.gnome to see if it helps.

Are there any funky messages in .gnome-errors or
/var/log/messages ?

Subject: running applets as root crashes gnome panel

<code snipped>

this code when executed as non-root, works fine. When executed as root,
it crashed the gnome panel.


any ideas?
