It was not started as a default service on your current runlevel, but was started as a dependency anyway - when e.g. you logged into your desktop. > So I decided to reboot and see what happens.

I don't use this desktop to be able to advise further, but generally I would try to run the command as a plain user while keeping an eye on the terminal, syslog, and xorg.0.log, for any messages pointing to the underlying problem. -- Regards, Mick
