Xfce4 is starting dbus in by using dbus-launch in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc if there is no session bus yet, KDE does not seem to start a session bus.
Xfce4 also seems to start the dbus daemon before the session manager, which may cause similar pain as for the Gnome case if a session-manager- aware program is started through dbus. Another way is to temporarily special-case the desktop environments in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/75dbus_dbus-launch. This should limit the effect of changes to Gnome. -- variables from the session are not defined https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
