Re: running GWorkspace with no notification server on the x windows display server

[Dan Hitt]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your long thoughtful reply to my questions.  The information
about querying gdomap via the -H and -C options is very useful.

I've simplified my setup so i now run windowmaker (0.80.2) on the same
host which serves the display and GWorkspace on that same host also,
so everything is on one machine.

gdomap runs ok, but gdnc seems to die just as soon as i start
GWorkspace, and this happens whether i run gdnc as myself or as root
(so permissions shouldn't be a problem in the latter case).

gdnc comes from gnustep-base-1.6.0---am i out of date for some fix?

Thanks again for your help, and thanks in advance (to you, or anybody
else) for any more information on gdnc, whether this is known behavior,
etc.

(And although i don't like getting errors, i like the way the error
panels from GWorkspace float above all the other activity on the
screen, and in particular don't get buried.)
