Hi I've been trying to track down some issues with gnome-session in GNOME 2.23.x which is in rawhide now. I first noticed this when trying out a jhbuild of GNOME 2.23.x, but then noticed that rawhide suffers from the same symptoms. A bunch of processes are left in [defunct] state after login and starting new programs complains about not being able to connect to the session manager. After some investigation and help from one of the gnome-session maintainers we noticed that the SESSION_MANAGER env var in rawhide differs from other distros. What I see in rawhide is this: [kmaraas@localhost gnome-session]$ echo $SESSION_MANAGER local/unix:@/tmp/.ICE-unix/2994 and he had: local/henderson:/tmp/.ICE-unix/14577 The XSMP spec has this to say: The client finds the network address of the SM in a system-dependent way. On POSIX systems an environment variable called SESSION_MANAGER will contain a list of network IDs. Each id will contain the transport name followed by a slash and the (transport-specific) address. A TCP/IP address would look like this: tcp/hostname:portnumber where the hostname is a fully qualified domain name. A Unix Domain address looks like this: local/hostname:path A DECnet address would look like this: decnet/nodename::objname If multiple network IDs are specified, they should be separated by commas. Is the current format in rawhide according to spec? And does gnome-session just have to be updated to handle this format?
