[arch] Warning: Upcoming dbus upgrade will kill outdated gnome sessions

2007-02-02 Thread Jan de Groot
We're planning to upgrade dbus to 1.0.x in a short while. The new configuration files used by dbus 1.0.x is incompatible with the version in our repositories, which causes dbus to crash as soon as it tries to reload the configuration. Due to a bug in gnome-session and the XFCE Terminal program,
