Umm, google shows that post was two years ago! And one of the first matches to that message was from Simon, pointing out it is a problem with a file installed in in /etc/dbus-1/system.d. http://www.mail-archive.com/blfs-support@linuxfromscratch.org/msg09502.html Myself, I've long since abandoned gdm (in favour of 'startx' - I like to see my shutdown messages, particularly when I break something), but I know the development book has more about pointing dbus to gnome conf files than I remember - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/gnome/GConf.html ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
