Hi, The .bashrc here defines this function.
met () { case $# in 0) mousepad --display=:0 /home/me/a & ;; 1) mousepad --display=:0 $1 & ;; *) echo "Too many arguments." ;; esac } mousepad works as expected but messages such as this are spewed to the terminal. (mousepad:8747): dconf-WARNING **: 06:30:53.773: failed to commit changes to dco nf: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY How should the shell function or mousepad notify dconf that the display is :0? Thanks, ... Peter E. -- tel: +1 604 670 0140 Bcc: peter at easthope. ca
