I've been doing a fair amount of coding with the DBus API for bossman, but sadly I feel no wiser on the various errors that it throws. The other things I can think of are: * GConf isn't installed/running * meld is looking for the session bus of your user, which is not accessible when running as root (maybe??? Not 100% sure on how session busses work...) If you run systemd, DBus is definitely running and I would imagine this would be a GConf error of some sort. If you're using OpenRC, check to make sure you have dbus and gconf enabled and running. Alec
