Application launching seems to be slowed down (very much). Also when
using pasteboard in application for first time, there is long delay
(about 10secs) after operation will begin. It is very noticable with
dragging. I am running a XDM session to another host. I think, this
has
to do somethink with contacting gdnc and gpbs, but I am not sure. Here
is backtrace of interrupted application while waiting after launching:
If you have forgotten to start gpbs and gdnc, the system will try to
start them for you automatically, print a warning message to stderr,
and wait several seconds for them to start up.
Is there any documentation on HOW to actually launch gdnc and gpbs?
No more than any other app/tool. The only difference from other tools
is that for these two, -NSHost specifies the machine on whose behalf
the tool is to run, rather than the machine on which the tool should
display.
If you log in and neither gdnc nor gpbs run, you will get a message,
that they are not running, and that the preferred way to launch them
would be during startup.
If they ARE launched during startup, each user logging in will get a
message, that they cannot be contacted, and new instances (one for
each user) is started.
Not on any system I've ever seen! You only have one copy of each on a
machine (except where you are running them on behalf of another machine).
If they are launched during log-in (eg. via ~/.xinitrc), again each
user will have their own instances.
No ... only one per system. If you launch one when another is already
running, you will get an exception reported.
I'm not sure whether each user really needs his own "copy" of gdnc and
gpbs running... but it would make sense.
Not only do they not need their own copies, they can't have them,
unless something is seriously wrong with your system.
However - if a user logs off, gdnc and gpbs will keep running ... but if
he later logs back in, gdnc and gpbs again can NOT be contacted and
ANOTHER instance for both will be started (regardless of how they got
launched in the first place).
No ... contacting these apps has nothing to do with users - they are
reached via network ports (and therefore available to all users).
If you are experiencing this sort of thing, it sounds like you have
a badly broken system. I guess some sort of incorrectly configured
network or firewalling might conceivably cause this.
