Continuing to work on this problem. I'm getting very inconsistent logins now. I not sure what changed, other than a few reboots.
Consistently I see, even on the server a hesitation in loading the menus. Wish I knew where to find a log that might explain this. Now, when I try and log in via a vnc client I sometimes get in to the login screen. After I log in I get the desktop but no menus. Same problem when going through x11. I get a grey screen followed (sometimes by a login). I can login and only once got a menu. I get the desktop background. Here is what I got in the terminal when I tried logging in last time via x11: X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. 1214678415.789435 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:Bonobo/Gen eralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. 1214678416.812564 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:Bonobo/Gen eralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /export/home/frilly/.metacity/sessions/default0.ms: Failed to open file '/export/home/fril ly/.metacity/sessions/default0.ms': No such file or directory Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display "localhost:10.0" already has a window manager X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. 1214678417.842711 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:Bonobo/Gen eralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /export/home/frilly/.metacity/sessions/default0.ms: Failed to open file '/export/home/fril ly/.metacity/sessions/default0.ms': No such file or directory Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display "localhost:10.0" already has a window manager X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. 1214678418.873455 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:Bonobo/Gen eralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. 1214678419.905984 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:Bonobo/Gen eralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. 1214678420.971865 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:Bonobo/Gen eralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred ** (nautilus:1379): WARNING **: Can not calculate _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS ** (nautilus:1379): WARNING **: Can not calculate _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS ** (nautilus:1379): WARNING **: Can not get _NET_WORKAREA ** (nautilus:1379): WARNING **: Can not determine workarea, guessing at layout X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. 1214678422.047784 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:Bonobo/Gen eralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. 1214678423.079580 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:Bonobo/Gen eralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. 1214678424.103684 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:Bonobo/Gen eralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. 1214678425.133232 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:Bonobo/Gen eralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. 1214678426.162714 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:130: activation of OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer failed: System exception: IDL:Bonobo/Gen eralError:1.0 : Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred 1214678426.162761 Session manager: gsm-remote-desktop.c:207: Failed to activate remote desktop server: tried too many times Can anyone help me figure out where to find logs for these errors. One of my main challenges is that all the googling I've been doing lead me to pages of howtos with file paths that differ from this installation (there ain't no /etc/dt nor etc/security, etc).
