about 4-6 hours ago :-( I remade ORBit, gnome-libs, and gnomecc, and
made sure to touch the idl files to unconditionally force a
remake... don't see what I could have done wrong.

OK, see below. Is it supposed to work with a dummy device, too? I
actually don't see why it should make a difference. Do you need a
longer strace for the network case, too? Hmm, I think I'll just add
one to make sure.

Here's the non-networked case for a startup of gnomecc (gzipped for
size):

strace.out.gz

And here's the networked case (full strace this time, and gzipped)

strace.out-net.gz

just so you can be sure I don't have any ill routes (or do I have? I
don't think so :-) or devices....
