Resolving "Could not update ICEAuthority /var/lib/gdm3

Here is the error message that you might encounter before logging into gnome desktop:

Could not update .ICEauthority file  /var/lib/gdm3/.ICEauthority

I have resolved this problem by simply removing that file and let gdm3 daemon re-create it. The commands below must be executed with root privileges.

/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop rm /var/lib/gdm3/.ICEauthority* /etc/init.d/gdm3 start 
perform the above steps from another pseudo terminal (the terminal in which the gnome desktop runs is tty8)

Handling CellClick event suppresses CellDoubleClick event.

Sri Guru Gauranga Jayate

In DataGridView, if one handles the CellClick event, CellDoubleClick event doesn't fire.

Sri Guru Gauranga Jayate

DataGridView CellFormatting event is funny. As per the MSDN, the ConvertEventArgs argument has a property 'Value' that holds the unformatted value and must be set to the formatted (converted) value inside the event handler. But for DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn, this property had a fixed (constant) value irrespective of the underlying value of the DataGridView cell.

tableAdapter.Update method is 2-way

Sri Guru Gauranga Jayate

tableAdapter.Update method implies not just saving the dataset to the database but also retrieval of any autoincrement (identity) key values to the dataset after saving it to the database. In other words there's no need to call tableAdapter.Fill method to get the identity key values.
