New description:

 This affects several applications, like file-roller (on Snow Leopard).

 My version of dbus is:   @1.2.16, Revision 1 (devel)

 It has also been reported in the past and people have been rebuilding it
 with x but it is hard for the less savvy.

 Here is a good reference to a similar problem and a proposed fix:

 ticket:16755

 May I suggest you change the default?

 I am not sure if one could get all applications affected to specify a
 variant (with-x) instead.  I am not sure why the default is without X).
