no, but probably sourcing the file in init.d isn't enough. the env changes
get lost. My knowledge unix details sis sometimes too small.

Where do you "source" it? at ever login? that is slow and cumbersome

well, it is there, gdomap and gdnc, the entry remains there. afterall that
seems to work.

Yes that is it. The Sun is headless, I export the display. I noticed that if
I login from another computer I get
gdnc
gdnc -NSHost computer1
gdnc -NSHost computer2

this almost kills my sun, every gdnc is 6megs ram (2.2 resident). I have
only 32 MB of ram on my sparc
Also, logging out from one machine doesn't stop it: every gdnc instance
remains there occupying space.

but at this point, everything seems to work. Starting gdomap correctly was
probably the clue.

The fact that gworkspace isn't capable of contacting gpbs is mysterius. Also
the Backgrounder problem is it. Enrico tells me that probably it is not
gworkspace fault, but GNUstep's.
Now I am a bit clueless.
