[Sugar-devel] [support-gang] Collaboration woes

[Jim Simmons]

Sascha,

I tried using

ssh -XY annie at localhost

and it worked fine, and seems to have eliminated the

** (process:10387): WARNING **: Owner of /tmp/orbit-jim is not the current user

issue.  The NetworkManager problem still exists.  I only get it for
"annie", not "jim".  I checked the "Users and Groups" dialog in GNOME
and it seems that there is no "netdev" group in Fedora 11.

It might be worth pointing out that running under two separate Linux
userids in F10 works just fine and the two instances of sugar-emulator
can see each other.

Thanks again,

James Simmons
