Running GNOME in fully updated F8 on a dual-core x86_64. When I log in, several apps or applets produce pop-up error boxes with the following text: An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for <applet>. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly. Clicking the "details" button produces one to several occurrences of the message: Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0 This started a while back, and it would occur on the first login after boot, but subsequent logins would work fine. More recently, it's started happening on every login. The applets that produce the error vary, but they include - Power Manager - gnome-terminal - Evolution's calendar/alarm app - nm-applet and others. Anybody have a clue what's going on? Which component should I BZ? TIA. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
