My assumption is that your hostname is changing via DHCP while your X server is running. That will prevent applications from starting, and is a hard limitation in the way X authorization works. If you use DHCP to obtain IP address and your X server is using your IP address for authentication purposes, you'll have to restart the X server in order to run X apps. Since no other reports of this nature have been reported to us in bugzilla, and I'm unable to reproduce this in Fedora Core 2 or 3, my assumption is that this is the DHCP related limitation of X mentioned above, or some other local configuration or installation problem. If the problem persists, please upgrade to Fedora Core 3 to see if that changes anything. You may also seek troubleshooting and configuration assistance on the Red Hat public mailing lists, which may help narrow down the source of your problem. If the problem does persist, once you've narrowed it down to a specific cause, should that turn out to be an X bug, please file a new bug report detailing the problem. Thanks. Setting status to "WORKSFORME", unable to reproduce. |
