Comment 70 for bug 842566

Success at last :). I installed all three debs and now the bamfdaemon runs.

The problem before was that after killing the daemon, the (first) replacement version of bamfdaemon had been quite simply failing to start, so it's not suprising that no window management was functioning.

I note that when I compiled the daemon myself it was 541.2KB in size (the same as the file I first downloaded from Paolo Stivanin, so apparently correct), but the latest one now residing on my system is much smaller, at 134.8KB, which is far closer in size to the original version of bamfdaemon (130.7KB).

Very glad to have this working. Still cannot see what I might previously have done to break anything, though. Out of interest, I reverted the changes (result: system still working) and then installed ONLY the bamfdaemon*.deb. That gave me a working system, so the problem clearly lay with the intermediate (514.2KB) version of bamfdaemon, which would not start. I have since installed all three debs again to be on the safe side.

Thanks for taking the trouble with this.
