Description Paul van Tilburg 2006-08-02 10:04:31 UTC 
When I try to start Gossip when a D-Bus session bus is unavailable, Gossip crashes.  This happens for example when doing: ssh -X localhost gossip.

Output:
** (gossip:10383): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to the session bus

Galago-ERROR **: Unable to connect to session bus: Unable to determine the address of the message bus (try 'man dbus-launch' and 'man dbus-daemon' for help)
aborting...

That's really a bug in galago, I'd say, it shouldn't crash, just return some error when it's inited. We could add a workaround of course in the meantime...
Comment 2 Richard Hult 2006-08-03 18:46:21 UTC 
I've committed a fix for this, but we/you/someone should file a bug against galago since that is what's crashing.
