Interestingly enough, though, on my system evolution-wombat remains
running after logging out of a GNOME session. Apparently this blocks the
bonobo-activation-server from stopping, and upon trying to login to
GNOME again, this causes the gnome-settings-daemon to issue numerous
errors and refuse to start applets in the panel. I think other people on
fedora-test-list have mentioned having this problem also, so I BZ'd it
as well, after trying to make sure no one else had. Anyone else out
there care to relay their experiences in this matter?
