GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 79037
do not force bonobo-activation debug output
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
gnome-panel sets environment variable BONOBO_ACTIVATION_DEBUG_OUTPUT to "1". This forces the bonobo-activation-server process to retain inherited stdout and stderr, which it would otherwise redirect to /dev/null. That causes a regression of bug #46728. The panel should not force BONOBO_ACTIVATION_DEBUG_OUTPUT=1. This is a per-user choice, is generally only appropriate for developers and those without automounter-managed home directories. This change was first made on 2001-11-01, in version 1.274 of "gnome-panel/gnome-panel/main.c". The code was later cut-n-paste relocated on 2002-02-07, in version 1.314 of "gnome-panel/gnome-panel/main.c". Mark McLoughlin <mark@skynet.ie> performed both checkins.
Marking this bug as a blocker of bug #46728, since the later is effectively in a state of regression until the former is fixed.
Yeah, that was rather rude :) Fixed in CVS
Verified as fixed in gnome-panel-1.5.22.0.200205240531-0.snap.ximian.1. bonobo-activation-server correctly redirects stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null. Thanks!
