Ug, what a gruesome hack, but it works. For what its worth, putting a blocking "sleep 1" right after the gnome-settings-daemon is enough time for it to init itself, because nothing else heavyweight has started yet. It'll probably fail periodically, sleeping always does. Even if you sleep 10 seconds, murphy's law says something's going to block it 10 seconds! (It always happens). The strange thing is gnome-settings-daemon spits out some debug output when its ready (apparently to stdout or stderr) but if you try to redirect them it doesn't. I thought I could block looking for that output, but it's tricky. Anyway, thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
