From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: After I use system-config-network-1.3.26-1 to activate my eth0 interface I have to logout and log back in to be be able to launch applications. If I don't logout/login all that happens when I try to launch an application (from anywhere) is the hourglass icon flips 4-5 times and reverts to the normal pointer and the app does not get launched. This happens every time I run system-config-network-1.3.26-1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-network-1.3.26-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2. click system-config-network-1.3.26-1 icon 3.select 'activate eth0' Actual Results: other apps cannot be launched Expected Results: apps should be launched, and in fact are able to be launched if I logout/login again Additional info:
You maybe have set another hostname, which gets set, when you activated your interface and the $DISPLAY where you started your applications/X-Server has the old hostname.
