Ok, I think this problem occurred during the last gnome update. When cfg-update kicks off meld it dies with the error below. Running meld as a user works fine, running say xterm as root works fine but running meld as root fails. Anyone know what's wrong? I googled the error but didn't come up with anything useful. |

glib.GError: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) |
