Comment 44 for bug 49594

I appreciate your help, my friend, and I'm happy you're -certain- this isn't the same problem. Indulge me, however. EOG (ie "eog picture.jpg") works via command line, but then it doesn't work while being called via nautilus (ie double-click picture.jpg) when bonobo is on. The EOG process hangs. Kill bonobo momentarily, and EOG resumes working. You know what's funny... if I had a number of failed attempts to open a picture with EOG, and haven't killed their individual processes, the second I kill b-a-s, they all pop up. So that's an EOG bug I should file? Really?

Same with the Trash Applet... "killall gnome-panel; killall bonobo-activation-server" (so gnome-panel is restarted while b-a-s isn't yet running) restores the trash applet, if only for the rest of the current session. Same with the timer applet. Same with weather. I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm certain, but I do have a strong suspicion filing a string of duplicate bugs against each app and applet affected by something bonobo is doing wrong isn't the way to go. And yes, perhaps this isn't the right bug. But all these problems were introduced to me by the last bonobo-activation update, and up in these comments people were discussing bonobo screwing up the applets, so I thought it applied. I'm sorry if it isn't the case, I'll take it elsewhere. By the way, I use the "proposed" repos so I kinda expect minor breakage once every blue moon but this is ridiculous by any standards.
