Comment: The problem is that in libgnomeui it isn't checked if sounds should be played in gnome_client_request_save () (and the deprecated gnome_message_box_construct ()). In libgnome gnome_sound_connection_get () is called (by gnome_triggers_play_sound ()) to get the fd of esd (or -1 if it isn't running); it calls esd_open_sound () which callls esd_connect_tcpip () (both in libesd) to open the esd socket with the connect () syscall. If esd isn't running this last call blocks until timeout (~ 180 seconds). So it seems to be a libgnomeui and esound problem. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
