[Bug 517339] [NEW] Startupmanager: Error messages

[Martin Olesen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: startupmanager

On Ubuntu 10.04 (alpha) fully updated:


When running startupmanager from the command line (without sudo) I get the error message

An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for
startupmanager. Some of your configuration settings may not work
properly.

and further, when clicking on Details

Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that
you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS
locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for
information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not
receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not
send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the
reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)

With sudo there are no error messages.

I think these messages should appear for both a standard- and a
superuser. Besides this another wording could be more helpful.
