Oh good; thanks!

Neither slocate nor whereis, nor yet locate, gives me any output for
Gnome-system-tools. I tried the GUI searcher, and it doesn't either.

There are two other things of the Main Menu, in FC5 that seem relevant :
one called Services, which requires root's password, and Sessions, which
doesn't. Sessions let me type in dbus-x11, and Services wouldn't.

So I tried messagebus, and got this : 

[root localhost ~]# locate messagebus
/etc/rc.d/init.d/messagebus
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K03messagebus
/etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K03messagebus
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K85messagebus
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S22messagebus
/etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S22messagebus
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S22messagebus
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K03messagebus
/var/lock/subsys/messagebus
/var/run/messagebus.pid

I tried the file command on the first few and the last two. It looks like
the first is the only executable; so I copied it into Services, which now
shows something called messagebus, running.

But I *still* get the error instead of Epiphany opening!
