	* Source/NSDistributedNotificationCenter.m 
	(NSDistributedNotificationCenter -_connect): Loop for one second
	right after gdnc is launched.  Check for the port presence using
	portForName:onHost: before attemtpting the connection.  Do not
	retry [NSConnection +rootProxyForConnectionWithRegisteredName:];
	either the speaking port is there and it will succeed or there's a
	deeper problem.
	<limit>: Increase to 10 seconds.
