Description Luca Ferretti 2006-01-13 09:36:32 UTC 
This could be related to recent change in gnome-session (make app crash on g_critical). I found a similar behavior on rhythmbox (see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/rhythmbox-devel/2006-January/msg00032.html )

The console output is 

** (epiphany:12012): WARNING **: Failed to find epiphany-close-tab.png
(epiphany:12012): Gtk-WARNING **: Useless empty GtkIconSource
** (epiphany:12012): WARNING **: Unable to connect to session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-YlDNTsI0hr: Connessione rifiutata
** (epiphany:12012): WARNING **: Unable to get proxy for DBus's s bus.
** (epiphany:12012): WARNING **: Unable to get DBus proxy; aborting activation.

Oh, of course the dbus-session was not running when I started ephy :-) , but I suppose that by now application should start even the message bus is not available

"me too"; this prevents me from running it in a chroot :(
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2006-01-24 12:40:16 UTC 
We show an error dialogue now instead of crashing with missing session bus.
Comment 6 Gustavo Carneiro 2006-01-24 13:22:45 UTC 
IMHO, that's not good enough.  Surely Epiphany should be able to work, minimally, without D-BUS?..

In the old bonobo-activation days, the b-a client library automatically spawned the b-a-s on demand if it was not running.  Doesn't D-BUS have that?
Comment 7 Christian Persch 2006-01-24 14:13:09 UTC 
Even if it did start the session bus, that wouldn't be good enough, since programs get the bus address from the env var which it couldn't modify. So then next epiphany instance starting up wouldn't see this bus, and therefore couldn't forward to the running instance.
Comment 8 Reinout van Schouwen 2006-01-31 22:03:49 UTC 
fixed in 1.9.6.
