Hi. Attached is a patch that displays a dialog when the dbus session bus is not available, or if trackerd is unable to connect to it. I think that this is useful, as otherwise, trackerd silently fails to start. In order to display the dialog, there is a dependency on GTK+, but it does NOT require any GNOME specific libraries. As for the issue of running trackerd when no UI is available, it should be a non-issue. If there is no UI available, it will fall back to the console only version. It will however, still fail if no dbus session bus is available. Suggestions to improve this are welcome. Thanks. Saleem Abdulrasool compnerd (at) gentoo (dot) org
