Description Christian Schröder 2005-01-22 00:31:14 UTC

I installed xfce4 4.2.0 but startxfce4 does not much ore than seeing a xfce-splash and giving me a right click menu.
on the console there was a warning, that dbus was not found in my $PATH so i installed dbus from portage.
And now i have all the xfce4 stuff :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xfce4
2. startxfce4
3.

Actual Results:  
missing xfce4-panel, taskbar, ...

Expected Results:  
started all this

i think it can be easy fixed, cause it is just a missing dependancy.

xfce 4.2 in no way depends on dbus, it doesn't even use dbus. So I don't know what the problem was.

According to the /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc it looks for it and trys to run it if it exists.  I know I get an error about no dbus in `which dbus-launch`.  It doesn't seem to affect xfce4 but can the command be changed to it doesn't give that error?


# Use dbus-launch if installed.
if test x"$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" = x""; then
        dbuslaunch=`which dbus-launch`
        if test x"$dbuslaunch" != x"" -a x"$dbuslaunch" != x"no"; then
                eval `$dbuslaunch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
        fi
