<p><b>How do I use D-BUS from within the GNOME
Desktop?</b></p>
<!-- A25 -->
<p>If you ever start up an application and see the
following error:</p>
<pre>
WARNING **: Service registration failed.
WARNING **: Unable to determine the address of the message bus
</pre>
<p>It means the application wants to use <a
href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fdbus">D-BUS</a>.
D-BUS is a message bus system which allows for
applications to communicate with one another. Many
applications such as Evince, Epiphany, Evolution,
and Liferea are starting to make use of D-BUS's
services.</p>
<p>In order for applications to communicate with D-BUS,
the system message daemon must first be started. To do
this, add the following to <tt>/etc/rc.conf</tt>:</p>
<pre>
dbus_enable="YES"
</pre>
<p>Next, the GNOME Desktop must be started with D-BUS
support. To do this, launch <tt>gnome-session</tt> from
within <tt>dbus-launch</tt>. For example, if you start
GNOME using <tt>~/.xinitrc</tt> or <tt>~/.xsession</tt>,
change the line that execs <tt>gnome-session</tt> to the
following:</p>
<pre>
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session
</pre>
<p>If you use GDM to start GNOME, <a href="#q16">create a
new GDM session</a> that calls the command above to
start GNOME.</p>
