Bug Description
Version 0.8.3.1
Every once in a while at boot, gnome-do with docky enabled hangs the Gnome desktop at startup. The desktop is completely unusable and the only fix is go to a terminal with ctrl+alt+f1 and then killall gnome-do. Pressing ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to the desktop, the Gnome desktop is now responsive. I can then manually start gnome-do and everything is fine.
I do not believe this is binary video driver issue as I have noticed this issue both on the latest fglrx and nvidia closed restricted drivers. Also, I have only noticed this problem since enabling Docky.
Again this issue happens once every 4 or 5 boots. Does anyone know where I can look for logs on applications at startup so I can give better information on this bug?
Ubuntu 9.10, 64 bit.
I also experience this issue. I tried disabling plugins but the lockup still happens occasionally at start-up. After running killall gnome-do in the ctrl-alt-f1 console I can then restart gnome-do with no issue.
