[AG-TECH] Gnome launchers in FC2

So you are running the VenueClient on the same machine as the separate 
AGServiceManager?
If so, then yes, you will have a problem running the VenueClient with the 
--personalNode flag as that will cause an AGServiceManager.py instance to 
attempt to use port 11000.  Which will cause it to fail because the port is 
already in use by the separate AGServiceManager.

Try setting the command in the startup app to:
AGServiceManager.py -p 12000

or whatever other port you want.

If you're not using the --personalNode flag when running the venue client, 
I would file it as a bug because the venue client should not be launching a 
service manager if the flag is not there.
