GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 101508
Applet looks up garbage data upon GNOME start up
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
(Gar! I accidentally hit enter before posting the report.) I have gdict_applet in my panel which gets launched upon GNOME start up. Every time I start GNOME I see the GNOME Dictionary search interface get launched looking for something like "/gnome-dictionary-Bky7e9/" which I'm assuming has something to do with session management. Make it go away, please :)
I just fixed this in CVS. gnome-dictionary was doing evil things with the command line
I've got gnome-utils-2.2.0.3 installed now, and I'm still having issues with this. GNOME Dictionary still opens up a window when I start GNOME. It no longer looks up the weird string, but having to close the window is annoying. Thanks.

I tested with gnome-utils 2.3.3, gnome-panel 2.3.3 and gnome-session 2.3.3. I cannot reproduce this bug. I added the dictionary applet to a panel and saved my session. The dictionary window does not open when I log in, and gnome-dictionary is not added to my session. Can others please confirm?
I'm still hitting this with same releases still: [drfickle@tp hack]$ rpm -q gnome-utils gnome-panel gnome-session gnome-utils-2.3.3-1mdk gnome-panel-2.3.3.1-1mdk gnome-session-2.3.3-1mdk Here's the session start up information. I wonder if this "old" data is different to how it's storing it when you newly add the applet. 5,id=117f000001000104691681100000170380000 5,Program=gnome-dictionary 5,CurrentDirectory=/home/drfickle 5,CloneCommand=gnome-dictionary --sm-config-prefix /gnome-dictionary-1pOEos/ 5,RestartCommand=gnome-dictionary --sm-config-prefix /gnome-dictionary-1pOEos/ --sm-client-id 117f000001000104691681100000170380000 --screen 0
Debian sid gnome-utils 2.2.1-1 gnome-panel 2.2.2-1 gnome-session 2.2.2-2 The problem starts happening here after adding a gdict applet (and of course logout/login), and disappears after removing the applet. 0,id=11c0a80137000105610389500000017570000 0,Program=gnome-dictionary 0,CurrentDirectory=/home/kfoltman 0,CloneCommand=gnome-dictionary --sm-config-prefix /gnome-dictionary-MDftjD/ 0,RestartCommand=gnome-dictionary --sm-config-prefix /gnome-dictionary-MDftjD/ --sm-client-id 11c0a80137000105610389500000017570000 --screen 0 1,id=11c0a80137000105121136000000004100003
Can anyone reproduce this using 2.4.x or 2.6.x?
I am using 2.4.x now and it does not happen. Thank you.
