Midori console output before and after compiling dbus with X

Midori relies on dbus being built with X, but it is not rquired by the ebuild.
Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-03-29 20:00:51 UTC
If you run your X session the correct way that it launches a dbus session with it, you don't need the X autolaunch feature, and midori will work just as fine

This is more of an configuration issue at your end for launching your desktop in a way, it doesn't have a dbus session covering it

For example, startxfce4 script runs it for you, so to run Xfce using startx you have:

$ cat ~/.xinitrc 
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4
$ startx

Or when ran from random Display Manager (like LightDM or GDM) it does this for you too, IIRC

But if you run some plain WM, such as, openbox and use startx, you need something like:

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox (or was it called openbox-session? but anyway, I hope you got the point)

So with this comprehensive explanation -> INVALID
