Gnome Swallow Applet has is buggy on my system.
It works fine with any normal dockapp, but when trying to add a second it gives me the following error:
"OAFID: GNOME_Swallow" Details: Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.ord/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0'
There is a bug report filed but it is tagged a unreproducable.
Yet I can reproduce it with both the official package and the one at the package's homepage http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~tetron/technology/swallow/
I am thinking something is seriously wrong with my system.
In addition when running gnome-theme configurator none of the themes preview properly and almost none of them change properly.
Are these related? Should I just wait for things to be fixed upstream? Or is my debian sid box on crack?
Thank you for your help in advance.
