Description Nicolas Mailhot 2005-12-04 14:32:24 UTC 
Description of problem:

$ gaim
Creating link /home/nim/.kde/socket-rousalka.dyndns.org.
can't create mcop directory

crash

(problem probably not in gaim, but if Red Hat insists in having Gnome apps
depend on KDE stuff I can play dumb too)

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

gaim-1.5.0-9.fc5

How reproducible:

always

CCing mharris as this is one more modular X fallout, and shows nicely how apps
abused X11 before
Comment 1 Nicolas Mailhot 2005-12-04 14:33:42 UTC 
arts-1.5.0-0.1.rc2
gstreamer-0.8.11-2
Comment 2 Stu Tomlinson 2005-12-04 17:29:42 UTC 
This is not a Gaim bug, but a duplicate of bug 169631
I'm fairly sure it's totally unrelated to modular X too.
Comment 3 Nicolas Mailhot 2005-12-04 17:36:42 UTC 
It's not unrelated to X11.

kde and arts were mucking with xorg to create these bits, and gor kicked out of
xorg when it got modularised
Comment 4 Nicolas Mailhot 2005-12-04 17:37:54 UTC 
You're right about the duplicate part though

Comment 5 Nicolas Mailhot 2005-12-04 17:41:43 UTC 
Though since bug #169631 has been closed without any fix, I won't duplicate it

I don't see how one of the main distro apps crashing on start when using
distro-provided settings is "not a bug"

KDE sockets have nothing to do with modular X, or X at all.  That's KDE
specific stuff.
