I've now finished building everything on my current system (using what I call "sysv", i.e. LFS with systemd, but using sysvinit).
I figured I would need to test all the apps I actually use because of the reports of problems with gcc-4.9. My first runtime failure came from parole, which did nothing. Starting it in a term gave me: parole-CRITICAL **: Failed to initialize Xfconf: Using X11 for dbus-daemon autolaunch was disabled at compile time, set your DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS instead Google was unhelpful, no recent results which seemed to be related to my problem. I confirmed that dbus-launch had been installed, and that the dbus initscript is running. After using strace without getting any useful indications (every library appeared to open ok), I tried searching for the "Using X11 for dbus-daemon autolaunch is disabled at compile time" message in the output from 'strings'. Not in the parole binary, nor in the xfce libaries I looked at. Went back to google, kept getting old dbus results. So then I used string on /usr/bin/dbus* : the message comes from dbus-daemon itself. My reading is that we _do_ need to reinstall (at least) dbus-daemon, as well as dbus-launch after installing xorg. I suppose that systems using systemd might be different and liable to break. It seems to me that we ought to do a "regular" install of dbus. Certainly, that appears to be the easiest apparent solution on a non-systemd machine.
