Bug#490345: To clarify, epiphany is being invoked from update-manager, which I think is invoked as root

2008-08-06 Thread Dominique Brazziel
If I invoke epiphany from the terminal or from the
gnome menu I don't get the 'dbus' error message.  But
when I click on a link to a bug report from
update-manager, epiphany is invoked (because it is in
the alternatives system as 'gnome-www-browser').  Here
is the relevant info from '.xsession-errors':

(epiphany-browser:7149): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While
connecting to session manager:

host-based authentication failed.

I suggest then that you file a new bug against update-manager, which
should not try to open URIs as root directly. It should at the very
least re-use the d-bus environment to open a new browser window, but in
the end the browser process should never belong to root. (Of course
PolicyKit will handle such things much better.)
