I was a lightdm user. After some thought, I decidec to switch to lxdm. After the installation, and after each lauch of the DM, a /.dbus directory is created and filled (e.g.: /.dbus/session-bus/565f636cbf9da35bb1c84ec600000010-0). the content of the file states: # This file allows processes on the machine with id 565f636cbf9da35bb1c84ec600000010 using # display :0 to find the D-Bus session bus with the below address. # If the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable is set, it will # be used rather than this file. # See "man dbus-launch" for more details. DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-02w8UpVdBM,guid=338263db255997e7b97913d8510f6522 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=961 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_WINDOWID=4194305 Which application is responsible to set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge lxdm 2. set lxdm as default DM Actual Results: /.dbus is created Expected Results: / should be left alone Portage 2.2.0_alpha161
