Hi all I recently posted the following query on this list
> I'm running a freshly installed sl51 and on login get a very annoying > message from the gnome-settings-manager about being unable to > contact to socket: /tmp/dbus-kjsdfhjd : connection refused. > : but had no replies -- I post a solution for the sake of the archive. Further research on Google revealed that this problem can be caused by an old bug in dbus, which introduced a race condition on pipes being closed at the time a process wanted to write to them. I tried to update dbus within SL51 but found a cascade of dependencies made this "too interesting" to follow through. A clean install of SL54 on the same hardware (and with the same corporate setup) fixes the problem for me. Cheers Jim -- J.J. Green, Seaview Sensing Ltd., http://seaviewsensing.com/
