Comment:

 Yes, that would be a problem.  The DBus session bus needs to be running
 for most if not all GNOME and KDE apps.
 On installation the dbus port provides the following message:


 {{{
 ############################################################################
   # Startup items have been generated that will aid in
   # starting dbus with launchd. They are disabled
   # by default. Execute the following command to start them,
   # and to cause them to launch at startup:
   #
   # sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 system.plist
   # launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist
 ############################################################################
 }}}

 This only needs to be done once after installation.  The system bus will
 automatically start at system startup.  The session bus will start on
 login.

 I also note that if you don't do this, evince outputs the following
 message on the console:


 {{{
 Failed to get bus connection: Session D-Bus not running. Try running
 `launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist'.
 }}}

 Glad you got it working.
