Description Michael Sherman 2002-01-12 03:57:26 UTC 
Package: oaf
Severity: major
Version: 0.6.7
Synopsis: oafd never dies
Bugzilla-Product: oaf
Bugzilla-Component: general

Description:
oafd always seems to be running after Gnome exits, and when many users
log in over the course of a few days, many instances will be running. 
It interferes with any gconf work, like the background image picker, or
anything in the control center.  Any reason why oafd would continue to
be so flakey?

Never dies or doesn't die for 1/2 hour? I believe that is the default...
Comment 2 Michael Sherman 2002-02-14 23:13:19 UTC 
No, it just never dies until oaf-slay is run.  The general problem is
that oafd will still be running from a previous session.  When a user
logs in, I think there are two oafd's running.  Then the user tries to
run Evolution and gets the "cannot find configuration database" error.
 Also, control center capplets do not start.  The user will then do an
oaf-slay, and everythint will work fine after that.  So, basically,
the oaf-slay command _must_ be run every time a user logs in in order
for anything to work properly.  This has been happening for months now.
