[Bug 61381] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crashes at login

[frank]

I could not remotely log into X on Ubuntu with Cygwin until I shut down
the Windows XP firewall. I have not changed /etc/hosts in any way.

Suse works fine with the firewall in its normal state so it is clearly a
difference in the way Ubuntu sets up X that is causing the remote login
problem. I suspect a port or protocol change is causing the problem.

To my mind Edgy Eft is not as stable as I would like, it looses my mouse
occasionally and my network connection is a bit flaky (Gigabit network
connections are still apparently a little unstable). Suse on the other
hand has been as stable as a rock.

Thanks for the help, I would never have tried the firewall without it!
