Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.22.3-2
Severity: normal
When running gnome, applications cannot access files.
For example if I start abiword and click on the menu
bar to open a file, the file browser flashes on the
screen then disappears, causing the application to
hang. Similar behavior occurs when saving a file.
The problem is specific to this computer, but I don't
know how to fix it, and it would be nice if update
scripts looked for the problem and fixed it. The work around
I used was to switch to the afterstep window manager.
