Another thought: Have you had a look at this "%1" file to see what's in it? There could be a few clues there ...
I had thought it was empty, but the current incarnation of my %1 file contains:-
(xfce4-terminal:28072): exo-CRITICAL **:
exo_mutual_binding_new_full:
assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object 2)' failed
Hmmmm! Obviously something, somewhere is firing off an xfce4-terminal and having a problem.
Aha! There's a typo in my startup script that accounts for the %1 at least:-
/home/chris/bin/xstart 2>%1 >~/tmp/xstart.log &That should be '2>&1'. It doesn't explain the error of course, I think I'll have to ask on the xfce list about that. -- Chris Green
Ah! So it was down to a finger fumble after all! You will of course get a "%1" file created every time that script runs, even if there is nothing to write to stderr. E.g.:
(sleep 1 ; 2>%1 ) &
creates a file "%1" ('sleep' is silent -- it does not snore). Ted.
