My question was why, if I execute eval `dbus-launch --exit-with-session` before launching gnome, it does NOT work. In other words, the eval command will create the variable DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, it will fork a process for dbus-launch, which should be used by all applications needing the bus. I was just looking for a way to have a persistent running process of dbus so that I could do many things, not just gnome. FWIW, this method works fine with my current configuration and gnome 2.14. > Connect to #garnome IRC channel and maybe we can figure out what is > happening on your system. Maybe I will. Like I say, it's more an intellectual question than a bug. I like the way I do it now as documented in the dbus manpage. -- Peter -- garnome-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/garnome-list
