Package: gnome-session Version: 2.18.3-1 Followup-For: Bug #284090 Hi,
I looked at this problem again, and I was able to fix the hanging splash screen by removing both gnubiff and yarssr from .gnome2/session. When I log in now, the splash screen disappears quickly. After the login sequence I do see yarssr and gnubiff getting started in my panel. How can that be explained? The hint was to look at .xsession-errors, which contained complaints about programs not knowing about -sm style options, meaning they are not going to register to the session manager, indeed. I'm also still puzzled how/why these things end up in the session file when saving a session, while they're not even compatible with the GNOME session manager system. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-session depends on: ii gconf2 2.20.1-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnome-control-center 1:2.18.1-1 utilities to configure the GNOME d ii libatk1.0-0 1.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.20.1-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.1-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libesd-alsa0 [libesd0] 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - ii libgconf2-4 2.20.1-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.3-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2 2.20.1-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnome-keyring0 2.20.1-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.7-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-14 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 X11 RandR extension library Versions of packages gnome-session recommends: ii dbus 1.1.1-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii desktop-base 4.0.3 common files for the Debian Deskto ii gnome-panel 2.18.3-2 launcher and docking facility for ii metacity 1:2.20.1-1 A lightweight GTK2 based Window Ma ii nautilus 2.18.3-3 file manager and graphical shell f -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
