xfce-mcs-manager won't start if I'm not root

[Olivier Fourdan]

Well, we really need some backtrace...

1) Make sure your system is configure to generate cores

   ulimit -c unlimited

2) Run xfce-mcs-manager till it crashes
3) run gdb like that:

   gdb /usr/bin/xfce-mcs-manager -c core

   Note: - xfce-mcs-manager might be installed somewhere else
         - Some linux system generate cores with the pid, like
           core.12345

4) type "bt" and enter in gdb
5) Send us the output.

Cheers,
Olivier.
