RHBA-2007:0767 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
gnome-session bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated gnome-session package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
gnome-session manages a GNOME desktop session. It starts up the other core
GNOME components and handles logout and saving the session.
This update addresses the following issues:
- The logout dialog box would stay active indefinitely if no action was
taken to acknowledge or dismiss it. The dialog box now automatically
cancels itself after 20 seconds.
- the gnome-keyring-daemon could persist across X Windows sessions. Logging
out of Gnome did not terminate the process and logging back in initiated a
new gnome-keyring-daemon process, leading to multiple such processes
running after multiple X Windows sessions. This update fixes the problem by
slaving the gnome-keyring lifecycle to the X Server connection.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated gnome-session package, which
resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
