Hi, I'm having trouble with the gnome-applets (and other bonobo components such as gnome-terminal) running with concurrent gnome sessions. This worked in 2.14 (Fedora 5), uncertain about 2.16, and is broken in 2.18 and 2.20.
I'm trying to understand how the environment gets established/checked for a component factory in bonobo (specifically, where does it compare the client env. with the factory/component env. and decide whether to create a new factory/component). Also, I cannot see how the gnome-applets actually register with bonobo-activation-server (cannot find the code that does it!). The issue is that with multiple concurrent sessions, all of the bonobo based activations in the second session (eg. add applet to panel, open terminal) end up referencing the first session. By explicitly adding an <oaf_attribute name="bonobo:environment"/> (for DISPLAY,SESSION_MANAGER,etc) to the applets, I can get it them work, but this would mean fixing evolution, gnome-terminal, nautilus, gnome-applets, rhythmbox etc. It seems like some desirable default behavior was lost in 2.16 or 2.18. I've reviewed the code, but as a non-gnome-hacker, I haven't really been able to do find anything. Any ideas?
