Arch Linux

Here is a report I posted on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427329 where someone asked "perhaps it's a distro issue, good question - has archlinux a bug tracking system ?".

After upgrade frome gnome2.16 to 2.18, the clock applet isn't working at all anymore. Here is the related extract from startx log :

------------------------ 8<----------------------------
** (gnome-panel:2002): WARNING **: Failed to establish a connection with GDM: No such file or directory

** (gnome-panel:2002): WARNING **: panel-applet-frame.c:1252: failed to load applet OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet: Impossible de résoudre ou d'étendre «!prefs_key=/apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs;background=none:;orient=up;size=x-small;locked_down=false»
------------------------ 8<----------------------------

The impossibility to connect to GDM is obvious, since I don't use GDM (nor kdm nor xdm)... However it worked fine with gnome 2.16. And it is impossible to re-add the clock applet to gnome-panel : a popup says that gnome-panel encountered a problem during OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet loading, and asks if I want to remove this applet from my configuration.


Just before the startx log gnome-applet error, I have a also dbus error, which should not be related since it happened before the gnome upgrade (this is actually the reason why I upgraded...), but I send it just in case :
