Not sure if this is related, but recently I've started seeing a problem
in ROX-Session:  the "session settings" and "logout" buttons no longer
work.  Press them and nothing happens, except that after pressing them
the "cancel" button also stops working.  (If the cancel button is
pressed before the others it cancels the ROX-Session dialog.)  If I run
/usr/lib/rox/ROX-Session/AppRun from a terminal, press "session
settings", then kill the (quiescent) app with control-c, the backtrace
indicates that the app is in the get_response method of a ClientCall
object, waiting in a gtk main loop (xxmlrpc.py, line 193).   I'm running
ROX-Session 0.30 (gentoo package version 0.30-r4), rox-lib 2.0.6, and
rox-filer 2.10, on amd64 gentoo linux 2.6.31-gentoo-r10.

To the list:  Does this sound like the same problem?  Should I supply
any further information?  To Stephen:  Is your workaround to downgrade
to rox lib 2.0.5?

TIA,
