Galeon failed to start. (WAS: gpdf doesn't open documents)

[Andreas Schmidt <pi-c@arcor.de>]

I'm not sure whether it really is related, but lately I've had galeon  
complain on starting:

Bonobo couldn't locate the file "GNOME_Galeon_Automation.server".
Usually this is an indication of an incomplete installation. See the
INSTALL document for more details.

Starting galeon from an xterm brings this error:

	(galeon:5323): Bonobo-Activation-WARNING **: Strange exception 	  
(IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0) from active server registration

	** (galeon:5323): WARNING **: Could not initialize  
GaleonAutomation factory

pc@rocket:~$ ps ax | grep bonobo
 4933 ?        Ss     0:00  
/usr/lib/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-server --ac-activate  
--ior-output-fd=20

After killing this process, galeon usually starts up without further  
ado.


Best regards,

Andreas


P.S.:  I just thought of playing around a bit. Turns out that the  
problem with gpdf really is related to the one with galeon. Killing  
bonobo-activation-server lets not only galeon start again; gpdf works  
right again, too.
