    How do I use D-BUS from within the GNOME - Desktop?

    - -

    If you ever start up an application and see the - following error:

    - - 
    -WARNING **: Service registration failed.
-
-WARNING **: Unable to determine the address of the message bus
-
    - -

    It means the application wants to use D-BUS. - 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.

    - -

    In order for applications to communicate with D-BUS, - the system message daemon must first be started. To do - this, add the following to /etc/rc.conf:

    - - 
    -dbus_enable="YES"
-
    - -

    Next, the GNOME Desktop must be started with D-BUS - support. To do this, launch gnome-session from - within dbus-launch. For example, if you start - GNOME using ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession, - change the line that execs gnome-session to the - following:

    - - 
    -exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session
-
    - -

    If you use GDM to start GNOME, create a - new GDM session with the following parameters:

    - - 
    -[Desktop Entry]
-Encoding=UTF-8
-Name=GNOME with D-BUS
-Comment=GNOME Desktop with D-BUS support
-Exec=/usr/local/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session
-TryExec=/usr/local/bin/dbus-launch
-Icon=
-Type=Application
-
    - -

    Call this new GDM session - gnome-dbus.desktop.
