[LAU] X, gnome-panel, jackd, ardour/rosegarden weirdness

I want to share one of those weird things that may save somebody's hair follicles from excessive trauma: Today I had a power failure. When my machine booted up again, I was finding weirdness with ardour, rosegarden, jackd and X. On startup or shutdown or rosegarden and/or ardour, X would stop responding to keyboard and mouse clicks, but would still move the mouse cursor. Ardour was still talking nicely to the BCF, but X was totally dead. I could ssh into the box and kill the X server. I eventually tracked it down to gnome-panel talking to evolution-data-server. I've just rebuilt gnome-panel without that capability, and stability has returned. bye John
