Description Stephen Lawrence Jr. 2002-11-09 17:22:11 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
If I log out of KDE while mozilla and mozilla-mail are up and running, and I
select "save session", when I log back in, mozilla-mail starts up without any
mail servers.

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

mozilla-1.0.1-26
mozilla-psm-1.0.1-26
mozilla-mail-1.0.1-26
mozilla-nss-1.0.1-26
mozilla-nspr-1.0.1-26

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Login, start mozilla, and mozilla-mail
2.logout, select "save session"
3.re-login
	

Actual Results:  Mozilla mail starts from last saved session, but has no mail
servers.

Expected Results:  Mozilla-mail should start up and load preferences and mail
server prefs.

Additional info:
This seemed to start after the last up2date on mozilla.

Comment 1 Stephen Lawrence Jr. 2002-11-09 17:25:33 UTC
mozilla and mozilla-mail have to be closed, the re-opened to get mail functional
again.

Comment 2 Christopher Blizzard 2002-11-11 18:09:48 UTC
Mozilla isn't session aware.

Are you losing settings?  Or do they show up on the next restart?

What happens if you don't leave it running while logging out of your session?

Comment 3 Stephen Lawrence Jr. 2002-11-11 22:32:02 UTC
The mail server configuration is not lost permamently.

If I don't leave it running, or course, it load fine. This only happens when it
is left running during a logout with "Save Session" checked. This ALWAYS worked
before, where I have my konsole, gkrellm, mozilla, etc. loaded upon login.

Comment 4 Christopher Blizzard 2002-11-12 22:36:55 UTC
Can you attach a screenshot of what's happening?  I need a little more context.

Comment 6 Christopher Blizzard 2002-11-15 16:02:12 UTC
Ahh.  I think I know what's happening here.  I saw this last night while I was
trying to work on another problem.

I'll bet that KDE is running the mozilla-bin file directly instead of running it
through the wrapper script.  This means that LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't being set
properly and mozilla isn't able to load some of its libraries, causing that
really wierd problem.

(I'll bet it can't find libmsgbaseutil.so.)

You can do one of two things:

1. Turn of KDE's "I'm going to guess how to restart this program even though
it's not really session aware" functionality.

2. Add /usr/lib/mozilla-<version>/ to /etc/ld.so.conf
