Description Götz Waschk 2008-08-06 06:41:38 UTC 
This is with gnome-session 2.23.6 on Mandriva Cooker. In 2.19.6, gnome-session would set $GTK_MODULES = gnomebreakpad for automatic bug-buddy startup. This doesn't happen anymore.
Comment 1 Cosimo Cecchi 2008-09-01 23:26:53 UTC 
Confirming on gnome-session 2.23.91, this is IMHO a blocker.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2008-09-02 12:41:28 UTC 
Blocker, must be fixed for 2.24.0 IMO.
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2008-09-02 14:59:12 UTC 
So bug-buddy could ship a small autostart program that uses the Setenv org.gnome.SessionManager dbus method to do this, but it's racy since other programs might do the same thing at the same time :/ We already have at-spi-registryd-wrapper touching GTK_MODULES, eg.
Comment 4 Dan Winship 2008-09-02 16:16:12 UTC 
isn't there an xsetting it can set instead of the environment variable?

(of course, probably the xsetting is only looked at at startup, and so things like gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-keyring-daemon wouldn't see it anyway...)
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2008-09-06 06:44:40 UTC 
No, the xsetting works at runtime too, modules are loaded/unloaded when the xsetting changes.

We are only missing the gnome-settings-daemon side for setting the xsetting from multiple independent sources.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2008-09-09 15:46:30 UTC 
Any news here?
Hardcode freeze approaching soon - next Monday.
Comment 7 Matthias Clasen 2008-09-09 18:47:06 UTC 
See bug 539840
Comment 8 Cosimo Cecchi 2008-09-13 18:50:40 UTC 
See also bug 552153 for the hopefully last missing piece in GTK+.
Comment 9 Cosimo Cecchi 2008-09-14 00:00:44 UTC 
Now that bug 539840 and bug 552153 are fixed, there seems to be no reason for this to stay opened. I will add a rule that sets /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/gtk-modules/gnomebreakpad = true in bug-buddy and there should be no need for gnome-session to load anything.
Please reopen if I missed something.
