Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.10.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #316798
Hello,
I am beaten by this bug since I upgraded my Linux-kernel to version
2.6.14.2, everything worked fine with 2.6.12.6 and earlier.
I tried to find out why gnome-settings-daemon hangs:
bjoern at nostromo:~$ strace -p8489
Process 8489 attached - interrupt to quit
read(37, <unfinished ...>
Process 8489 detached
bjoern at nostromo:~$ gdb /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon 8489

(gdb) The program is running. Quit anyway (and detach it)? (y or n) y
Detaching from program: /usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon, process 8489
bjoern at nostromo:~$
I then did "killall esd" and everything works as before. So, to me this
looks like an esd bug, possibly #246317.
Best regards
Björn
