Package: gnome-session Version: 2.22.3-2 Severity: normal When running gnome, applications cannot access files. For example if I start abiword and click on the menu bar to open a file, the file browser flashes on the screen then disappears, causing the application to hang. Similar behavior occurs when saving a file. The problem is specific to this computer, but I don't know how to fix it, and it would be nice if update scripts looked for the problem and fixed it. The work around I used was to switch to the afterstep window manager.
