I have the same problem. Any time a user is logged in to the same server more than once, all nautilus sessions start on the first X session created. All subsequent sessions are useless as there is no file manager. Is there a workaround for this? I have several users that need to be logged in on more than one terminal at a time. What's more, I haven't been able to figure out how to switch gnome back to gmc (it doesn't seem to be in the toolkit anyway). I found that deleting the /tmp/orbit-username directory prevents this problem. So, the proper workaround would probably be to set a different ORBit directory or a different ORBit username, but I don't think that is possible. (If not, it should be.) I don't know the consequences of regularly deleting /tmp/orbit-user, but it might work. A possible ugly hack would be to create a set of ORBit lib files with /tmp/orbit- changed, and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the 2nd server. I'm told that this is relatively easy to get working now (there is a way to convince bonobo-activation to make a component per-display). But there's still some engineering involved. I ran into the bug using Xnest. In /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, I set: [xdmcp] Enable=1 and then ran: Xnest -query hostname :1 & I logged onto the display manager using gnome. The nautilus window appeared in the main window, not the nested window. The nautilus program seems stable, though. That is, no crashes. |
