gnome-settings-daemon hangs
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
With a gnome from CVS HEAD built using jhbuild, gnome-session hangs upon log in. I traced it to gnome-settings-daemon hanging when trying to init its xkb stuff, more precisely it hangs in gnome_settings_keyboard_xkb_load. I'm using xfree 4.3 from debian sid if that has any importance.
svu, any idea ?
same problem here, xfree 4.3 too (warty package but that's basically the debian one).
it is most probably me. Just as I am writing it, I am hunting this bug.:)
The quick hack is in CVS. Continuing the investigation.
This seems to be happening due to using XklConfig*() functions without first calling XklConfigInit(). Adding that right after XklInit() fixed it for me.
No, it was another story - but anyway, in 1.11 it should all be ok.
