netscape wrapper doesn't work with Gnome session management
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:17:19 EDT
The wrapper /usr/bin/netscape causes netscape-navigator or netscape-communicator to be run with the -irix-session-management flag. This seems to stop Gnome's session management from working (for netscape). Running with just the -session-management flag enables Gnome session management (though it might break KDE, etc. - I don't use it, so haven't checked). Thanks.
I've having a similar problem. I had a number of terminal windows open. Brought up the nescape browser through menu selection. I shut down the browser then tried to shutdown Gnome using the gnome log-out menu item with logout. The gnome scrollout menu disappeared. Keyboard input to any open terminal window was unavailable. Mouse action was ok. I used ctrl-alt-F1 to close gnome. Gnome paused. I had to type ctrl-C to terminal gnome to the shell prompt. Received the following error: subshell.c: couldn't get terminal settings: Invalid argument XSMP error: Offending minor opcode = 6 (Interact) Offending sequence number = 9 Error class = BadState Severity = CanContinue I'm runing the following XFree86 Version 3.3.6 (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release date: January 8, 2000 OS: Linux 2.2.5-22smp i686 [ELF] SVGA: Graphics device ID: "INtel 740 (generic)" SVGA: Monitor ID: "PRI21277" SVGA: PCI: Intel i740 (AGP) rev 33, Memory @ 0xde000000, 0xdfe80000 SVGA: chipset: i740 SVGA: videoram: 8192k SVGA: Option "dac_8_bit" This command produces the same error outlined above: netscape -session-management If I use this command to start netscape everthing is fine: /usr/lib/netscape/netscape-navigator -session-management and no xsmp errors or freeze-ups occur.

Switched as of 4.76-5.
Switched back as of 4.76-8. It apparently breaks Japanese support. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
