Hi,

I run Trinity, the KDE3-fork, on one of my servers. When connecting to it with the NXclient, I set it to run the following custom command in fullscreen: /opt/trinity/bin/startkde and everything works as expected.

I tried the same with the latest X2goclient, and it doesn't work. I can see the screen background with the logo for a few moments, then it closes again and returns me to the login window. I tried both the "custom command" as well as the "other desktop environment" options and supplied the same path. Neither works.

This came as a bit of a (negative) surprise as I remember there was an X2goclient that came with a preset for Trinity, so there has been a time when it worked.

To debug the issue, I decided to launch the console in both NXclient and X2goclient, and run the above command there.

Here's what happens in X2go:

[startkde] Starting startkde. [startkde] KDEHOME is not set. [startkde] Set KDEHOME to /home/sbaur/.trinity. [startkde] kdehome: /home/sbaur/.trinity [startkde] KDEDIR: /opt/trinity/ [startkde] KDEDIRS: /opt/trinity/:/usr/:/opt/trinity/:/usr/ [startkde] kdedirs_first: /opt/trinity/ xset: bad font path element (#119), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax [startkde] Starting Trinity... terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc Aborted terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' what(): std::bad_alloc Aborted [startkde] TDE_FULL_SESSION: true [startkde] KDE_SESSION_UID: kdeinit: Launched DCOPServer, pid = 31906 result = 0 kdeinit: Launched KLauncher, pid = 31911 result = 0 kdeinit: Communication error with launcher.

While this is what NXclient does:

It looks like dcopserver is already running. If you are sure that it is not already running, remove /home/sbaur/.DCOPserver_appserv2__1000 and start dcopserver again.

Any idea what's going on here?
