Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dbus

I've logged in to my system using the "Ubuntu Desktop Edition" session
and run a shell.

When running some applications, I get dbus errors unless I run the app
with 'dbus-launch'.  dbus and gconf are running.

Examples:

$ evince

(evince:16835): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session
manager: Could not open network socket

Failed to get bus connection: Error connecting: Connection refused

GLib-GIO:ERROR:/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.26.0/gio/gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init:
 assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)

(The projects.gnome.org URL is a general overview of gconf, not D-Bus
troubleshooting information as expected.)

dbus and gconf are running:
