Hi there,
I just had another spate of this - and imagine my suprise to find that
gtkhtml-1.1 seems to be using gconf [ and gconf for whatever reason was
screwed ]:
gtkhtml-ERROR **: gconf error: Configuration server couldn't be
contacted:
Adding client to server's list failed, CORBA error:

I couldn't care less about the gconf usage, but there are a couple of
problems here:
a) The 'abort' is not trapped by bug-buddy, leaving the user with just
a frustrating CORBA_COMM_ERROR back from oafd - since gnome-gtkthml-blah
crashed while it was starting up and before it returned it's OAFIID
correctly. So, it's virtually impossible for the user to tell what went
wrong.
[ I can't think of any possible way to make debugging that any
easier - creative ideas, better than re-directing a child's
stderr on fork & trying to grok it on exception welcome -
or 100% robust code to do that even ;-].
b) It looks like a CORBA method is being called from a
class_init method, this has caused some serious grief in
Gnome 2.0, where re-enterancy is more likely due to a lot
less blocking going on. It's possible for something to
re-enter, and instantiate the same class, which will not yet
be initialized, causing much type system / locking grief.
you might want to move this gconf-ness out of the class init
into the instance init bit.
HTH,
Michael.
