I managed to reproduce what you describe on Fedora Core 2, interestingly it seems to work fine on Fedora Core 1. I used 'strace -f -p <pid>' to see what the differences are between starting AGServiceManager.py from the command-line and from the Gnome window manager. For strace output see: http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~douglask/logs/ You'll see with the the version started from the window manager, there is an 'exit_group(0)' call which doesn't exist in the version started from the command-line. Attaching to (the launched from the window manager) AGServiceManager.py using strace has the side-effect of not closing the window and AGServiceManager.py will continue running happily (albeit more slowly). A workaround is use a shell script wrapper for AGServiceManager.py, like: ---- #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/AGServiceManager.py $@ ---- You could then modify 'VenueServer-Debug.desktop' located in: /usr/share/applications/AccessGrid and change the "Exec=VenueServer.py -d" line to something like "Exec=VenueServer.sh -d" I haven't yet worked out what the correct fix is or why it is happening. >> At 03:36 PM 9/14/2004, Jim Miller wrote: >> >>> I am having problems with the launchers in Gnome.
