Hello, I'm a new Gentoo user and I'm having somewhat strange problem with my install (using gdm and Gnome 2.24.1 on amd64). Every time I turn on the system and run Gnome I can't open any application. For example - if I try to fire up terminal, "Starting terminal..." window appears in the taskbar for a few seconds. After that, nothing happens. I have to kill X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) and run Gnome again. The second time everything is OK... Until the next reboot :)
Every time I try to start a program I get something like the following message in my log: AUDIT: Wed Aug 5 10:51:55 2009: 8520 X: client 17 rejected from local host ( uid=1000 gid=1006 pid=9676 ) After some googling I found other users with the same problem (or error message, at least :) ). They had disabled consolekit and enabling it had helped. I've tried adding it to the USE variable, updating my system and enabling the service, but it didn't help. Deleting the ~/.x* files was unsuccessful too. The new version (masked) of xorg-server didn't solve the problem. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance! :)
