Meld X11 Error

[Matthias Ohmsen]

Hi all,

> Please do not respond off list.
i'm sorry.

> 1) It says it is already loaded... so I think you're fine.  It's loaded.  The context of the original message has been lost on me, so I don't know what to do from there.  Is the problem that it isn't loaded even though it says it is?  What does 'launchctl list org.freedesktop.dbus-session' show?

launchctl list org.freedesktop.dbus-session
{
	"Label" = "org.freedesktop.dbus-session";
	"LimitLoadToSessionType" = "Background";
	"OnDemand" = false;
	"LastExitStatus" = 0;
	"PID" = 209;
	"TimeOut" = 30;
	"ProgramArguments" = (
		"/opt/local/bin/dbus-daemon";
		"--nofork";
		"--session";
	);
	"Sockets" = {
		"unix_domain_listener" = (
			file-descriptor-object;
		);
	};
};

> 2) The CFURLWriteDataAndPropertiesToResource error is odd.  -10 is kCFURLUnknownError which doesn't give much help.  Is it maybe a permissions issue?  What about:

ls -l /var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd.peruser.502/overrides.plist
-rw-------@ 1 ABC  wheel  0 28 Jul 23:10 /var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd.peruser.502/overrides.plist

calling
cat /var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd.peruser.502/overrides.plist
doesn't give any result

The original message is:
