Description Thomas Bellman 2003-01-29 20:59:46 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020913

Description of problem:
When I have Galeon running on one machine, and try to start it on
a second machine, I get the message

    GConf Error: Configuration server couldn't be contacted:
     Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0

in the terminal window I am starting Galeon from.  I also get a
dialog window saying

    Cannot find a schema for galeon preferences.  Check your gconf
    setup, look at galeon FAQ for more info.

After I click "OK" in that window, Galeon terminates.

The two machines involved are one RedHat 7.3 and one RedHat 8.0,
both installed with "Everything" chosen during the install,
sharing home directories using NFS and user accounts using YP
(the NFS server and YP server are both running on a third
machine, running RedHat 7.2).  The RedHat 8.0 machine has all
updates as of 2003-Jan-29 installed, while the 7.3 machine was
last updated in October.

The Galeon RPMs are galeon-1.2.6-0.8.0 and galeon-1.2.6-0.7.3, respectively.

I do not use the GNOME desktop; I use twm as my window manager,
and Galeon is the only GNOME program I am using.  


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.2.6


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have two machines with shared user accounts and home
   directories.
2. Log in to both as the same user and start X windows on both.
3. Start Galeon on one.
4. Start Galeon on the second.


Actual Results:  When starting Galeon on the second machine, I get the message

    GConf Error: Configuration server couldn't be contacted:
     Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error: IDL:CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0

in the terminal window I am starting Galeon from.  I also get a
dialog window saying

    Cannot find a schema for galeon preferences.  Check your gconf
    setup, look at galeon FAQ for more info.

After I click "OK" in that window, Galeon terminates.


Expected Results:  A Galeon window on my second machine too.  Or possibly a
dialogue window telling me that another Galeon instance is running on another
machine, asking me if I want to continue anyway.


Additional info:

No other GNOME programs were in use at the time.  twm is my window manager in X.
