From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011 Description of problem: Since there is no isdn-dialer for Gnome (that I have found), I have to use kisdndock. This works, except that kisdndock changes the owner of my .ICEauthority-file to root.root, causing that I can't login in X anymore, until i change the ownership of that file back to mylogin.mylogin. When starting kisdndock as root, everything works OK (I guess it's ok that root's files are owned by root ;-). It also works fine in KDE, OR when I have logged in with KDE, logged out, and then in again with Gnome. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Login using the Gnome desktop environment 2.start kisdndock 3.Logout Actual Results: It's impossible to log in in X. X attempts to start, but resets and falls back to the login prompt. I think this is because of kisdndock having changed the ownership of ~/mylogin/.ICEauthority to root.root, with read and write for owner at the only set permissions. At least it works again when i change the ownership of this file back. Expected Results: I should have been able to log in just as usual. Additional info: There ought to be a simple isdn-dialer for Gnome as well as for KDE.
did you start kisdndock as root? if yes, please try to start it as noonroot, i hope this should work
I first started it as myself, and then kisdndock changed the ownership of my .ICEauthority to root.root, so I couldn't log in the next time i tried. When I start kisdndock as root, it works fine... Kisdndock _itself_ works fine if I start it as myself as well, but as I said, it changes the permissions on .ICEauthority so I can't log in until I change it back. If I log in with KDE, it works fine both ways. Something is not working right when running kisdndock in Gnome. When I do this, kisdndock demands that .ICEauthority is owned by root. (..and that is what causes the problem, as far as I can understand.)
it's fixed in 7.3 release
