I know about this problem.. It appears when multiple GNOME control-center applets try to launch at the same time... I've hacked gnome control center to prevent this problem but this was a ugly hack and it seems it didn't fix all possible case.. Sorry but this won't be fixed for 8.2 and since we will be switching to GNOME 2 soon, this won't be fixed for gnome-control-center 1.5.x branch... -- Frederic Crozat MandrakeSoft
