#19686: gnome-terminal fails to start -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: thecolourblue@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: gnome-terminal -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by devans@…): I'm seeing the same problem with gnome-terminal but other apps that use GConf work correctly. A good example is gconf-editor which allows you to explore the GConf database and change preferences if you like. It works fine. Which means that both dbus and gconf are working ok. Concerning gconfd, it does not run all the time but is launched on demand on a per user (session) basis when someone wants to connect to it, stays active as long as at least one app is connected and then stops after a few seconds of no connection. So you may or may not see it by using ps or the like. This all leads me to think that is specifically what gnome-terminal is doing that the others don't that is causing the problem. So this calls for some debugging/code inspection. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19686#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
