startup bug in Rodent Gamma

[edscott wilson garcia]

Hi guys,

  A startup bug (critical) slipped by unnoticed into the  4.7.0 release. You
may or may not be affected by it, depending on how your computer deals with
parallel processes. The problem is in the generation of the
mimetype-application association cache.

  If on initial startup you get any warnings of the like "refuse to write"
or if you click on a text file and the open with dialog pops up instead of
the default editor, then you were affected.

  Simple fix: remove all  traces with:
$rm -rf  `find ~/ -name "rfm-Gamma"`

  Then start rodent with "rodent-desk" instead of plain "rodent".

This will avoid the race and generate correct caches. The bug only occurs
when the user runs rodent for the first time.
This has been fixed in SVN for release 4.7.1.

Thank you for your comprehension.
