Description Clint Fairchild 2005-11-18 20:05:45 UTC

When gnome-session is running, if the same user logs in again and starts another session, the second session will have really small fonts.  To reproduce this bug:
   1. Log in and start a gnome session.
   2. Start another session with vnc or NX.
   3. See the small fonts on the remote sessions.

This is one of side effects of a seven years known problem - logging in more than one session is not supported. In your case, gnome-settings-deamon was not started for the second time.

Rodrigo, is there an upstream bug that covers this?

Comment 4 Rodrigo Moya 2007-02-12 12:40:02 UTC

AFAIK, this should be fixed since 2.12 or 2.14. Clint, could you please make sure gnome-settings-daemon was started on both logins? (that is, there should be 2 gnome-settings-daemon processes running). Also, did you see any error message on the 2nd login? If g-s-d cannot be started, it tells the user about it, so if that is the problem you should have seen an error message.

Comment 5 Stanislav Brabec 2007-02-14 12:52:49 UTC

Reported product is "SUSE LINUX 10.0" and 2.12 was not correct in upstream (it was your fix).

So I guess it's fixed now.

Comment 6 Andreas Jaeger 2007-08-11 15:36:04 UTC

Let's assume it's fixed for 10.2 and newer.
