[cw-discuss] xmessage causing delay

[Krsnendu dasa]

I am forwarding a similar problem reported by someone else.

I've seen some very strange behavior with Crossover Office Pro 6.1.
Try running    /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxmessage --help
Especially from a remote X desktop that logged in via XDMCP.
A user here noticed that when the Thunderbird email client launched
Excel to open an xls attachment that there would be a 1.5 minute delay
before a box came up (spawned by cxmessage - which said something to the
effect of "Email attachments can be dangerous do you want to
[Continue|Always Continue|Cancel]."

I had to remove the symbolic link to the bottle's configuration file and
replace it with a user owned copy so that "Always Continue" could be
selected and the preference saved.

Also, you might try logging in as the user locally on the system to see
if the application runs locally.  You've shown that it runs this way for
root, but you may be surprised if it also runs as a user on the local
machine.
