strace gnome-session-properties (416.10 KB, text/plain)

Description Jose M. daLuz 2006-02-17 03:54:11 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
In gnome-session 2.13.91, if I start gnome-session-properties and delete any
program in the Startup Programs tab, the properties program freezes. It is
unresponsive to any mouse or keyboard input and must be killed. After being
killed, running it again shows the program I deleted is in fact gone.

Running with strace, when I delete a program there is an infinite loop:

unlink("/home/jdaluz/.config/autostart/banshee.desktop") = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)

This file existed before I deleted the program from the session. It no longer
exists after.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

strace gnome-session-properties

I'm attaching an strace of a session where I added banshee to the startup programs and then deleted it. I've deleted most of the identical lines to save space.

I confirm this bug. Always reproducible on 2.13.91-0ubuntu1  (ubuntu dapper)
Comment 3 Jose M. daLuz 2006-02-28 23:56:19 UTC 
This problem no longer happens with 2.13.92.
Comment 4 Sebastien Bacher 2006-03-02 17:22:10 UTC

Comment 5 Sebastien Bacher 2006-03-11 17:22:41 UTC 
2.13.92 tarball fixes that issue, the option still doesn't work correctly with it but that's bug #333641 which is fixed too now
