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.
