[Cooker] gnome-theme-manager stalls

[Tim Lee]

Hello,
Running gnome-theme-manager from the menu or from a terminal, it does not show up and it 'locks up' mouse-clicking in apps. I can still move the mouse around and cycle through windows and workspaces. I can also still type in a window, if I can cycle to it. I just can't click on anything. I tracked the problem to something with FAM. Restarting FAM by doing 'service fam restart' or killing the FAM process, both as root, will 'unlock' the gnome/gtk apps, send any mouse clicks made during the 'lockup', and subsequently show the gnome-theme-manager window. However, I don't the exact cause of the 'lockup' or how FAM is involved.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced any of this.

Also during the 'lockup', I can't kill the FAM process as my normal user even though the FAM process seems to be running under my normal user. I get an 'Operation not permitted' error.

Thank you,
Tim
