Comment 11 for bug 486058

Final note: the real problem is that I was running that VNC session as ***the same user logged in at the console*** - netbook-launcher segfaults if more than one instance of it is running ***as the same user***.

I created a separate user account on the machine for the VNC session (which is started from rc.local, independent of the console session), restarted, and all remains fine - no segfaults in /var/log/messages.
