There were a whole bunch of things listed in "Startup Applications" that look to be of no relevance to the current purpose of this machine. In particular, after I unchecked NetworkManager and started a new session, these nm-applet messages no longer appear in .xsession-errors: ** (nm-applet:1923): WARNING **: get_all_cb: couldn't retrieve system settings properties: (2) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings was not provided by any .service files. ** (nm-applet:1923): WARNING **: fetch_connections_done: error fetching system connections: (2) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings was not provided by any .service files. As you indicated, the process tree showed nm-applet was started by gnome-session. As I expected from the chkconfig output, NetworkManager was not running. Do you think these messages are just a fancy way for nm-applet to say NetworkManager is not running, or is something actually wrong? I tend toward the latter interpretation. If nm-applet wants to complain that NetworkManager is not running, it would do much better to say that. I suspect the other messages (from deja-dup-monitor and nautilus) also denote errors, but, without experience with these applications, I can report what I see but cannot feel confident to say these are actual bugs. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
