Description Damien Cassou 2014-12-09 17:14:30 UTC 
When trying to use polari, I get the following error messages. It's probably because telepathy-idle is in a non-standard location. How can I tell polari to look for idle there?

$ ./result/bin/polari 

(polari:29369): Gdk-WARNING **: The GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS environment variable is not supported in GTK3.
See the documentation for gdk_window_ensure_native() on how to get native windows.

Connection managers are dbus-activated, so dbus needs to be configured to look up .service files from the directory containing org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.idle.service.

I have the same problem with polari-3.16.1

(org.gnome.Polari:28541): Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: TelepathyGLib.Error: Protocol 'irc' not found on CM 'idle'

org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.idle.service is correctly located in /usr/local/share/dbus-1/services along with all the other *.service files...
