No, I somehow didn't see eval in the suggestion. If I run eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax`, then both dbus-viewer and gnome-power-manager work. I played around with dbus to try to figure out what is necessary. It looks like it is necessary to run /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbus before the eval command, or gnome-power-manager won't work, altho dbus-viewer didn't complain. However, it looks like the dbus-launch in .xinitrc might be the culprit. It starts gnome-session, but the --sh-syntax isn't working? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
