Just upgraded my main Linux box to Fedora 11 and my cygwin installation
on the laptop and windows boxen are having trouble with:
ssh -Y -f gnome-terminal<user>@wolves.private
They report missing "General Event Extension" missing errors and then
fail to start gnome-terminal with a "unable to contact Gconf daemon".
The problem seems to be specific to gnome-terminal in that I can install
Terminal from XFCE and it starts up fine.
Is this a cygwin problem or a Fedora11 problem? Any ideas?
Neither; I have the same issue with my Cygwin-built gnome-terminal.
It's actually an upstream bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564649
IOW, unlike most GConf client apps, gnome-terminal just exits if it
can't find a running GConf daemon (instead of launching one).
The workaround is to run "gconftool-2 --spawn" *before* gnome-terminal.
