Description jigar 2014-12-11 12:51:44 UTC

Description of problem:
After logging in or resuming a former session, the  GUI applications menu won't launch applications when one clicks on the applications.  Logout & Login doesn't make a difference

How reproducible: Sometimes


Steps to Reproduce:

It happens randomly on RHEL7 servers. These servers are all running on top of VMware 5.5 as virtual machines, and always accessed through the GUI console via the vmWare vCenter console.  

Actual results: The application menu does not allow to launch applications


Expected results: The application menu should allow launching applications


Additional info:
1)  It seems to happen most often to servers that have
not been accessed for several days (weeks).
2) Restarting the server fixes the issue but that is not desirable
3) Resetting/Restarting GDM does not seem to fix the issue.

This should be fixed by the patch in bug 1229676.
