Thanks. ktrace ended with a reference to: 6594 cantata NAMI "/tmp/runtime-erling/bus" which was non-existing. This lead me to try: $ dbus-launch cantata which was crowned with immediate success. After (re)adding: if [ -x /usr/local/bin/dbus-launch -a -z "${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS}" ]; then eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` fi to my .xsession, cantata now works. I'm getting old and confused. Probably time for me to go back to running Windows. Sorry for the noise. Erling
