To me, begs the question, why don't gnome > apps "just work" when launched outside of a gnome environment? Right, that would be preferable. (I actually asked that question in a bunch of different forms in my initial mail.) But without knowing anything about whether it's considered a "feature" or if it's hard to fix or not, I think launching the daemon in $DE session startup scripts would be an acceptable and easy enough temporary fix until there's a better solution. Interestingly enough, some apps seem to launch the daemon if it's not already running. For example clicking some (but not all) buttons in gnome-control-center do it. That doesn't happen with the majority (or any?) of other GNOME/GTK apps I regularly use though. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
