missing dbus prevents startup. can we consider this a bug? gnome@dragonscale:~$ nautilus GTK Accessibility Module initialized Bonobo accessibility support initialized (nautilus:6729): Liboobs-WARNING **: Failed to connect to socket /opt/gnome2/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory Liboobs-CRITICAL **: OobsSession object hasn't connected to the bus, cannot register OobsObject aborting...

I get a similar error: Liboobs-CRITICAL **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) aborting... (process:801): GLib-CRITICAL (recursed) **: g_key_file_set_value: assertion `g_key_file_is_key_name (key)' failed aborting... Not sure if it's related, but it's only the liboobs that is different.
it is the missing dbus-session, to be precisely # dbus-launch nautilus is a workaround.
If it would only affect running nautilus then it might not be a bug... But nautilus is specific application... Therefore this bug also affects all applications that use Open/Save dialogs. Just try running gedit/abiword/oowriter2 without dbus-session. Everything works till you try to open/save document :( In many situations it becomes really troublesome :(
(In reply to comment #3) > If it would only affect running nautilus then it might not be a bug... But > nautilus is specific application... Therefore this bug also affects all > applications that use Open/Save dialogs. Ehr? Nautilus is not used for Open/Save dialogs.
I guess this should be moved to gnome-vfs...
I don't know whether it is connected with nautilus or not. I only know it affects these two things.
I cannot see this any more with current trunk
