Starting and output on STDOUT:

Curious: The 1007 is not my user ID but lightdm before logging in into Xfce.

Same issue when having net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.46.5-r410 or the previous net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.44.4-r410. Sometimes the issue is gone after rebuilding webkit-gtk, but after a reboot it's there again.

Sometimes starting evolution works, without having changed anything.
There are 2 dbus-daemon processes running and evolution seems to use the wrong by accident:

lightdm   5237  0.0  0.0   5804  3152 ?        S    07:09   0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/usr/share/defaults/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 10 --address=unix:path=/run/user/1007/at-spi/bus_0
mb       14090  0.0  0.0   5812  3312 ?        S    08:26   0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/usr/share/defaults/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 10 --address=unix:path=/run/user/1080/at-spi/bus_0
Comment 3 da51df 2025-02-06 12:40:21 UTC
There are Xsession errors with respect to other applications too, although these applications work:

(thunar:2297): dbind-WARNING **: 11:55:41.927: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/user/134/at-spi/bus_0: Permission denied

Switching to slim or not using a dm at all both resolve these problems and evolution works fine. So it would seem that the problem is lightdm(?) or some aspect of its configuration.
