Re: Etoile xsession

[Yen-Ju Chen]

When applications call NSWorkspace in GNUstep, GNUstep will pick up a
default one if there is none. The default one is GWorkspace.app.
In your xsession, there are several application calling NSWorkspace
simultaneously.
I guess that is the reason you have multiple copies of GWorkspace.app running.
To solve the problem, set this default setting:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSWorkspaceApplication "NotExist.app"

Then you can start GWorkspace.app manually.

There is a components in Etoile called System, which will handle the
starting of applications gracefully:

http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/etoile/trunk/Etoile/Services/Private/System/

If you call it in your xsession (there is an example for GDM),
it will call all the applications for you in SystemTaskList.plist (see
example in source code).
