The option I'm describing is an XFCE settings option, which relates to the Xubuntu distribution and its lightweight window manager. If you're not running on Xubuntu, then this option won't be there.
Because it's not committed to Gnome (Ubuntu) or KDE (Kubuntu), it's up to you whether you launch any Gnome or KDE supporting services when your Xubuntu session starts. I understood that this was an issue of startup speed (e.g. if the services are already running, then launching a KDE- based app would be quicker). However, it seems as if these services being running could be a requirement for Kbibtex to run without errors. I guess it's not causing some services to launch which it actually relies on. Take a look at this page - the advanced tab in the settings manager is what I'm talking about. http://www.xfce.org/documentation/4.2/manuals/xfce4-session If you can fathom what's behind this GUI pane, then you'll be able to set it in your environment too. If you want to be sure, you could always install Kubuntu, but in my experience it's a bit annoying to have two sets of every application when you've installed the desktops from two distributions. -- Kbibtex hangs and crashes during online search https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330635 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
