Description Chris Smith 2003-10-20 19:48:44 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031009

Description of problem:
Gconfd2 doesn't get shut down on logging out from gnome once evolution has been
run.  This causes gconfd2 to fail when logging in again and the desktop to die
miserably with a dialog:

"The Settings Daemon restarted too many times."

And then no panel applets or icons will start up.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
GConf2-2.4.0-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login as a standard user
2. Start evolution
3. Log out
4. Log back in as a standard user
5. Boom! problem
    

Additional info:

processes still running that shouldnt be:

- gconfd2
- bonobo-activation-server
- evolution-wombat-somethingorother

Killing these processes after logout from the console allows a normal login
again.  These shouldn't exist after logging out from gnome back to gdm.

Both of my machines do this with plain Fedora .95 installs.  this is release
critical IMHO.
