Thanks. It absolutely does not work without embedding $DBUS_LAUNCH in the startx command. By not doing it, errors appear that none of the gnome apps can connect to the bus. Here are some DBUS variables when starting with: startx $DBUS_LAUNCH gnome-session bash-3.1$ echo $DBUS_SESSION_ADDRESS bash-3.1$ set |grep ^D DBUS_LAUNCH='/opt/gnome/2.16.1/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session' DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-noA7livpDS,guid=99012545bd80d2b86877310386fbf600 DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID= DIRSTACK=() DISPLAY=:0.0 Now, if I have dbus started outside of the startx gnome-session command the following error is displayed in a terminal, and the system is functionless: SESSION_MANAGER=local/mars:/tmp/.ICE_unix/4320 mapping method init - connect: Permission denied (nautilus:4332): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: module '/opt/gnome/2.16.1/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libmapping.so' returned a NULL handle mapping method init - connect: Permission denied The above line was repeated a number of times. Closing the terminal error window ended the session. I could not open another term to view the environment variables. So, for me at least, I MUST include $DBUS_LAUNCH when starting any WM that will use gnome. Otherwise, none of the daemons will work.
