Hmmm ... Dunno from dbus; there seems to be no generic man dbus, and man dbus-launch is over my head. (The GUI searcher finds 72 files with names containing the letters dbus -- none of them familiar, alas!) I'm running Fedora Core 5, btw. > If you start X using .xinitrc, make sure you have something > like this in that file: > > exec dbus-launch ssh-agent gnome-session > > Hope this helps. Hmmm again. The searcher finds only a few xinitrc files; Main Menu > System > Administration > Server Settings > Services brings a window called Service Configuration, which has two lists : one of Background Services, and one of On Demand Services; neither lists .xinitrc nor dbus. /etc/grub.conf doesn't mention either one, either. It does say #boot=/dev/hda (commented out) -- and cat /dev/hda gives me a mass of incomprehensible gibberish ... Fwiw, ignoring the dot, I get : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -q xinitrc package xinitrc is not installed [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# and the same with the dot -- even though the search function does list two shell scripts and a folder in /etc/X11/xinit (and the folder contains two more shell scripts)! There is also a very small file in selinux ... I looked at all of the shell scripts; they're code, of course, which is worse than Greek to me; and the system uses emacs to display them -- but any serious editor is also Greek to me. :-( -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD Neo-Redneck Linux Convert FC5; CXO 5.0.1; Pine 4.64, Pan 0.14.2.91; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo 0.8.5;Galeon 2.0.1, Epiphany 1.6.5, Opera 8.52, Firefox 1.5 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
