Bug Description

Binary package hint: bonobo-activation

Hi, I'm using Ubuntu Feisty and since I upgraded, I'm experiencing the following problem.

When I log out and log in again, I discovered that the "bonobo-activation-server" started within my first is not being shut down or restarted. This fact leads to the problem, that every single application, which is interacting in some way with it or is using bonobo components, does not work properly or is not even been started.

For example:

Log-out -> Log in again --> gnome-control-centre --> gnome-theme-manager

Gnome-theme-manager shows me a warning that the gnome-settings-daemon was not being started and I would experience problems with applying changes.

Log-out --> switch to console --> px ax | grep bonobo --> kill "Process-ID" applying to the bonobo-activation-server (started with from user in the previous session) --> Switch to GDM and log-in --> the same procedure above--> No warning

2. scenario

Log-out-->log-in --> The panel-applet "Zeroconf Service Discovery" is not even starting

After Log-out and killing the bonobo-activation-server, the applet starts normally

There were some other applications, where I have problems, but I can't remember now.

If you need some more information, just mail me.

I hope this could help you fixing this issue.

This bug causes a lot of unexpected troubles, e.g. gtk theme changes, everything looks and feel like "broken" and the only "fault" of the user is having logged out. Please raise priority, we'll do our best to provide information, but let's try fixing this for gutsy, since this has really broken gnome for ages, since the birth of ubuntu.
