As part of my ongoing quest to find the browser that sucks the most, I figured I'd try midori today. original gtk2 flavor. i386. current.
At startup, I immediately get a popup that says "An instance of Midori is already running but not responding." As you've probably guessed, this is a lie. There is only one midori process running. It prints some messages about being unable to connect to a dbus socket in /tmp which appear more truthful. I can confirm those files do not exist. But that's not the awesome part. After I dismiss the dialog box (the only button to click is OK even though I don't think this OK), I get a new dbus socket with a *different* name. The apparent timeline is: 1. connect to nonexistent /tmp/dbus-foobar 2. dialog box 3. create /tmp/dbus-different 4. exit xtu:~> midori (midori4:10218): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Unable to open a connection to the session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-NxtYg0Focu: No such file or directory (midori4:10218): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Unable to connect to the running instance, aborting. xtu:~> midori (midori4:32141): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Unable to open a connection to the session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-kc36UEP2Km: No such file or directory (midori4:32141): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Unable to connect to the running instance, aborting. /tmp: srwxrwxrwx 1 tedu wheel 0 May 5 23:33 dbus-AdsEu6LPfw= srwxrwxrwx 1 tedu wheel 0 May 5 23:33 dbus-aCeOFYjYSS= srwxrwxrwx 1 tedu wheel 0 May 5 23:34 dbus-lj0VNgv6MC=
