I'm getting a crash when I run the OpenSolaris packagemanager GUI
using pfexec. Any ideas? I looked at the gnome website, specifically this
page: http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/
But I couldn't figure out how to follow up on my problem. Is root
supposed to automatically spawn it's own dbus/gconfd when you run a
GUI as root? Or is it supposed to inherit some user-specific envars
to connect with the desktop daemons?
