HI I'm hoping someone can help me with this. Basically I get the following error whenever I open up a new gnome terminal: Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 The only way to get rid of this error is to reboot. It happens randomly so I'm not sure what it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated 1) Gnome package List gnome-python2-1.99.14-5 switchdesk-gnome-3.9.8-17 gnome-desktop-2.2.2-1 libgail-gnome-1.0.2-1 gnome-themes-2.2-3.1 gnome-terminal-2.2.2-1 libgnomeprint22-2.2.1.3-5 gnome-media-2.2.1.1-4 gnomemeeting-0.96.0-4 gnome-mime-data-2.2.0-3 gnome-python2-bonobo-1.99.14-5 gnome-icon-theme-1.0.5-1.E gnome-vfs2-extras-0.99.10-3 gnome-utils-2.2.3-1 libgnomeprintui22-2.2.1.3-2.0 gnome-user-docs-2.0.1-3 gnome-vfs2-2.2.5-2E.1 gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.2 gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-1.99.14-5 libgnomeui-2.2.1-1 gnome-session-2.2.2-3 gnome-pilot-2.0.10-1 up2date-gnome-4.2.57-2 gnome-python2-canvas-1.99.14-5 libgnome-2.2.2-6 gnome-system-monitor-2.0.5-2 gnome-applets-2.2.2-2 gnome-spell-1.0.5-1 gnome-audio-1.4.0-6 gnome-panel-2.2.2.1-8 openssh-askpass-gnome-3.6.1p2-33.30.3 2) Orbit List ORBit2-2.6.2-1 pyorbit-1.99.3-5 ORBit-0.5.17-10.4 3) Gconf List GConf2-2.2.1-4 gconf-editor-0.5.0-1 pkgconfig-0.14.0-5 Hope this helps.
