Anyone know what happened?
The warning is Gnome related, has little to do with Dia, but with the fact that you're doing something Gnomeish as run while runnning another users (your) session. Given that it works running as root, I'd say the problem lies in your .dia directory. Try moving it aside and see what happens. If that helps, you can move important bits back one at a time and see when it breaks (or do a binary search, if you feel fancy:). If you find the culprit, we'd like to hear about it. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list Dia-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
