On the advice of AlbertoSalvia Novella , I've submitted a new bug report against dbus with links to all the bugs (in my install of Xubuntu 14.04) that I vaguely suspect are related to one another: Bug #1347272 (DBus communication problems affecting multiple packages) -- You received this bug

The slowness in that bug may simply be some kind of timeout being hit due to a dbus connection problem. After the timeout, maybe it retries and succeeds, or tries some other method. I also have an unsubstantiated hunch that Bug #976638 (pkexec does not find any authentication agent) is also

I very highly doubt that anything being slow has to do with this bug. This one should break things entirely rather than slow them down. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314782 Title:

Hallelujah! Thanks for the workaround Alistair. I was going somewhat crazy, finding that rather randomly, volume keys and notifications and screen brightness notifications would work, sometimes only one would work, and sometimes neither would work. That smells like some kind of a race condition.

I simply used the same code as xfsettingsd… (consistency is good, at least now we know this code is buggy ;-). Thanks for the patch, I've added it to my todo list (btw, the lp branch is only a mirror). Feel free to include it in the ubuntu package without waiting for a new release, since it seems

Indeed, xfsettingsd has an identical bug which has been known about for much longer but never explained until now. If the LP branch is a mirror, where is the upstream? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

This bug can be fixed by moving the fork() to before the gtk_init() - which is apparently the only correct order to make these calls. It should also be noted that upstream in xfce, the fork() call happens before gtk_init(). Upstream latest version is 0.1.13, the version in ubuntu claims to be

Kudos on the fixing Alistair! Lionel, may I please ask you to notify me in a way or another when you modify something in your fork, so that: - if there was a reason I did it differently, I can let you know about it and we can discuss what approach fits best - if my code was bad, I can improve it
