Hi Volker:
I did write them and the developer responded. Here is what he said:
"xfsm-dns.c contains safety checks that are executed on session start."
"The problem is Xterm itself - the client part of libICE, to be exact.
Did you disable "Manage remote applications" in Settings -> Session and
Startup -> Advanced? (xfce4-session needs to be restarted afterwards)"
Well, I don't think that is the case as Xterm opens really fast here
on the Rox desktop. In every instance that there is a slow down, I see
the xfce-session in the sockstat output. So Xfce is trying to query
comething on port 53. As for the disable "Manage remote applications",
it is disabled.
This was a really nice desktop, too bad it's screwed up now. First
Xffm got botched and now it has this feature that does not work. I
mean this code from xfsm-dns.c certainly seems like the culprit:
static gboolean
check_for_dns (void)
{
#ifdef HAVE_GETADDRINFO
struct addrinfo *result = NULL;
struct addrinfo hints;
#endif
char buffer[256];
gchar *hostname;
hostname = queryhostname (buffer, 256, FALSE);
if (hostname == NULL)
return FALSE;
#ifdef HAVE_GETADDRINFO
bzero (&hints, sizeof (hints));
hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
hints.ai_flags = AI_CANONNAME;
if (getaddrinfo (hostname, NULL, &hints, &result) != 0)
return FALSE;
if (g_ascii_strncasecmp (result->ai_canonname, hostname, 0) != 0)
return FALSE;
#else
#ifdef HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME
if (gethostbyname (hostname) == NULL)
{
return FALSE;
}
#endif
#endif
Kind regards,
Jonathan
