Short answer: yes Longer answer: ------------- When running GARNOME you want to use GARNOME's message bus. The system message bus needs to be started before the haldaemon or avahi-daemon is started. These can be started by root before the GARNOME desktop is brought up. From my experience, these daemons can be started by root *before* the GARNOME environment is established. The only caveat is you must be careful to use full path names.
With a minor amount of scripting you can craft startup files that are modeled after the startup files in /etc/init.d used to start system processes. Note that is not really necessary to stop the distro's message bus daemons and hal daemon as they listen on different sockets. -Joseph ==================================================================== On Tue, 2006-03-21 at 18:10 -0600, J.
