[OpenIndiana-discuss] oi-151a8 JDS menus and launcher gone

[Stephen S. Jones]

Issues 4100, 4073, and 4067 all seem to me and to others to be related and stemming from the same bug.
I thank Milan Jurik who has just begun to find and to correct the error.
Until the bug is corrected, I have backed out of the most recent updates to a backup boot environment.  (Thanks zfs!)
I plan to wait patiently before applying any more updates.
Cheers

Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] oi-151a8 JDS menus and launcher gone
 
After update to the newest oi-151a8, all entries in the application
menu and all custom launchers in the gnome-panel are gone. Only with
user root, these can be seen, even another root user with id,gid 0,0
does not see the entries.

In .xsession-errors, I see:

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are 
that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks 
due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. 
(Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Unable to autolaunch when 
setuid)

It seems that this crappy libdbus problem now affects everything on
the system, a fix is urgently needed. Tried to set gconfd-2 setuid,
but that broke Gnome completely.
