Thanks for your patch, but…

I think you are hitting bug #649591. If you change the -u to -U then it
should work again.

Your patch made me look at /usr/bin/gnome-do though, and it looks like
there's incorrect  logic there

  if pgrep -u "`id -u`" '^gnome-do$' >/dev/null; then
      /usr/bin/cli "$GNOME_DO_EXE" "$@"
  fi

Looks like it will launch gnome-do if it sees it is already running.

It seems like gnome-do properly supports only having a single instance,
so it'd probably be easiest if this check gets removed in favour of just
always running Do.exe. So I'm cc-ing RAOF to see if he wants to do this.

Cheers,
