Re: ggv fails to launch

["R. Scott Frazier" <rscottf ieee org>]

Thanks for your reply, Alexander

Unfortunately, I have no such file in that location.   I suspect it is because these server connections
were never successfully established, since  I was never successful connecting to the Mac via the nautilus tool
(as I said before, I can ssh and scp to/from it on the command line, though).

However, I did some more poking / grep'ing / finding and found that there is a file in my home directory
called
".recently-used"

It contained all the addresses that I was seeing in the error messages.  Since there was a bunch of other stuff in the
which I wasn't sure how it was being used, I didn't want to just delete the file. Instead, I just did searches through the file
and deleted the offending addresses, and now ggv launches fine! 

My questions are:
What feature of ggv is it that it would consult this file before launching?
Could I have just deleted this file?
What are its other purposes?
Is this a bug worth reporting?

Thanks,

I had been fooling around (unsuccessfully) with the nautilus feature
that allows you to connect to other computers (I also have a Macintosh
running OS 10), and these look like some of the connection names I was
trying.  Is there configuration file somewhere I can delete/reset so
that I don't get this behavior?  I have looked in /etc, my home
directory, and in /var for files containing key words from the error
messages above, but have not found such a file.

    

This data is stored in /desktop/gnome/connected_servers in gconf.
