Description Mantas Mikulėnas (grawity) 2015-02-22 12:33:35 UTC 
After logging in to an X11 session, bus-activated apps cannot be started (e.g. gnome-terminal) because $DISPLAY is not present in their environment.

gdm 3.15.90.3

Fix should be simple. Just need to make sure the x server is spawned before the bus daemon in gdm-x-session.c and set DISPLAY in the DBus GSubProcessLauncher

patch?

Tried to fix this, I have no idea what I'm doing but it looks like spawn_bus() is already called after spawn_x_server() so adding the 'setenv's to the former did work for me.

Looks good, thanks !
