org-protocol works less than half the time now.

i try it with the org-capture firefox extension on iceweasel.  i also
try it with a manual bookmark created by some instruction somewhere.

today every click puts this in my messages buffer:

"Greedy org-protocol handler.  Killing client."

could somebody please explain what this means?  i do not understand the code.

org maint.

thanks.

org-protocol works by advising `server-visit-files' in an obsolete way.
I encountered this problem this week when I tried to advice
`server-done' to do something clever with Itsalltext.  It seems the
`defadvice' on `server-visit-files' is incompatible with any other
advice in that vicinity. I would get "Greedy org-protocol handler.
Killing client." when I advised `server-done'. This error would
disappear immediately after I disabled the advice.

So I suggest examining your custom advises. And see if disabling some of
them fixes the problem.  And maybe someone could look into using
something better than `defadvice' in org-protocol.el.

thank you.  i don't have any defadvice on anything server-related, or
anything likely to be called by a library.  does that also count?
