This is the script that starts garnome for me: #!/bin/sh GARNOME=/opt/gnome-2.14.0 PATH=$GARNOME/bin:$GARNOME/sbin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GARNOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH PYTHONPATH=$GARNOME/lib/python2.4/site-packages PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$GARNOME/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig XDG_DATA_DIRS=$GARNOME/share:/usr/share XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$GARNOME/etc/xdg:/etc/xdg GDK_USE_XFT=1 export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH PYTHONPATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH GDK_USE_XFT XDG_DATA_DIRS XDG_CONFIG_DIRS dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session $GARNOME/bin/gnome-session Does it matter that the garnome environment variables are already set before dbus is launched? Just wondering if I am doing it correctly on an unbuntu 5.10 setup. Do I need to add the dbus-daemon --system command somewhere else? I am concerned that an older version of the daemon is running before the one I built/installed to /opt has a change to start up.
