Description david walker 2004-01-30 16:39:48 UTC
when quitting gnome with gdesklets running and I select the save this session button, the next time going into gnome it fails to start gdesklets.  This is because when the session is saved in ~user/.gnome2/session it saves that process as gDesklets instead of gdesklets (caps to lowercase d)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start gdesklets
2.save gnome session
3.start it again

Actual Results:  
gdesklets failed to start

Expected Results:  
gdesklets should be working after

I am running the 20040128 stage1, off of the 2004.0 beta (20040128) live cd. 
Gnome 2.4.1 gdesklets-core .25

I have the same problem with gDesklets-core 0.26.1. Is there a workaround? Gnome 2.6
Comment 2 David Walker 2004-06-30 11:48:19 UTC
There are 2 workarounds.  One is edit the ~/.gnome2/session and change the session gDesklets to gdesklets.  The second would be to make a sym-link.  as root ls -s /usr/bin/gdesklets /usr/bin/gDesklets


cheers.

Dave

This works fine for me with gdesklets-0.26.2. Gnome automatically saves the session on logout. Can you please test with 0.26.2 and report back?

Otherwise, have a go at David's workaround. Thanks.

No activity, sorry. Look for the upcoming 0.3x release if this is still a problem.
