Starting this brings up the tool, it hangs with a blank list

I tried to remove and reinstall system-conf-services but
it does not help.

What can I do to fix this?


Isn't there anyone that can help me solve this one? I am really
pulling out my hair over this supposedly *simple* program
and I cannot for the life of me figure out why this sucker hangs!

Please tell me what I can do to debug this sucker to understand
WHY it hangs. I have an strace but who wants it? What does
system-config-services require for proper functioning?

Yes, I have pored over the man pages and it mentions hanging
but *very* limited data. FYI: it worked until I did *something*
(like install many packages) and somehow it broke it.

Thanks!

/usr/bin/system-config-services is a symlink
to /usr/bin/consolehelper.
consolehelper is a part of the "usermode" RPM. Perhaps consolehelper
is
screwed up?


The GUI, from the menu "System", "Administration", "Services" is a link
to "usr/share/system-config-services/gui.py" I wonder if they are
inter-related someway. How does your "gui.py" script compare with a
fresh copy? I think re-installs don't always replace everything.
