GNOME launchers don't work

[stormi]

Hi there,

I recently installed a brand new Gentoo 2008.0 on my desktop and everything is working just fine except for the Desktop application launchers. Double clicking for the first time results in a normal behavior (the app is starting). Closing the app and doing another double click does just nothing. No errors, no log entries, no starting app. Waiting for a while solves the problem, but there is again only one app launch possible. Starting the programms manually from within the console works fine. Any suggestions?

If u go to Gnome-System-Monitor, the app may still be running even after u closed it, thats why u cant get to run again until after a period of time ( when the process kills itself). U can manually kill the program and that should allow u to open it again. As to why it is doing that , i dont know. Just sugesting a cheap easy way work around it.

Nope this isn't the case. I figured out that it works, if I deselect the icon (e.g. by clicking on another desktop icon) and then doing a double click on the desired programm icon. Could this be a bug within the launcher/icon management whatever code?
