this doesnt seem to be a security issue, reassigning to gnome herd. It worked fine for me, on a first time install (never installed before on this box). It opened the wizard to setup the firewall. Try re-emerging maybe? Closing as invalid. Firestarter was complaining because its gconf settings had not been installed correctly. However, they were installed correctly. The problem was that I had two gconf servers running, one owned by root and the other owned by me. The Firestarter emerge installed by connecting to the one running as root, but when I started Firestarter (as root), it connected to the one running as me, which for some reason, didn't know about the new settings. Adding to the confusion was that gconf-editor showed no Firestarter settings configured. Apparently it was connecting to the non-root gconf, too. Killing the non-root gconf solved all my problems instantly! (except why I had two of them in the first place) |
