[Bug 213494] Re: [Hardy] Glipper dies when desktop starting

[chappejw]

Simone: You are right, if it is supposed to be a panel applet we don't
need it to be in /usr/bin/. Actually that soft link I sugguested is
irrelavent. However, I was not presenting that fix as a path only issue.
>From reading all the posts here it appears that glipper starts before
some arbitrary resource is available. So, by adding the glipper
executable /usr/lib/glipper/glipper to startup programs in System >
Preferences > Sessions we can ensure that it will start in a reliable
order once it's required resource is available. There are other applets
which startup in Session Startup Programs as well. Of course as others
have done we could just hard code a sleep time of 8 to 30 seconds into
glipper to rig it to work, however this is not a reliable solution since
your system may change the amount of time required to startup
occasionally and cause something else to out synch glippers startup once
again. Perhaps this would be the simplest solution to fixing this applet
without having to dive into code.

...If your lazy and you know it click your mouse.... hehe...
