[Bug 70269] gok not starting with vnc, but starting with nx

[frafu]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gok

System:
- headless celeronbox with an uptodate edgy desktop i386 upgraded from dapper
- remote connection through openssh, nx and vnc shipped with ubuntu


gok does not start when forwarding the session through vnc; here is what
I get when I try to start it from the terminal:

frafu at UbuntuDesktop:~$ gok
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
Bonobo accessibility support initialized
/dev/js0: No such file or directory

** (gok:14590): WARNING **: Cannot open input device!

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
frafu at UbuntuDesktop:~$ gok &

Bonobo accessibility support initialized
/dev/js0: No such file or directory

** (gok:14602): WARNING **: Cannot open input device!


[1]+  Segmentation fault      (core dumped) gok


However, when I login into the ubuntubox with nx, gok starts up. Here is
what I get when I start it up from the terminal:

frafu at UbuntuDesktop:~$ gok &
[1] 8678
frafu at UbuntuDesktop:~$ GTK Accessibility Module initialized

Have a nice day.
