Thanks. It absolutely does not work without embedding $DBUS_LAUNCH in the
startx command. By not doing it, errors appear that none of the gnome apps
can connect to the bus.

Here are some DBUS variables when starting with:
startx $DBUS_LAUNCH gnome-session

bash-3.1$ echo $DBUS_SESSION_ADDRESS

bash-3.1$ set |grep ^D
DBUS_LAUNCH='/opt/gnome/2.16.1/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session'
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-noA7livpDS,guid=99012545bd80d2b86877310386fbf600
DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID=
DIRSTACK=()
DISPLAY=:0.0

Now, if I have dbus started outside of the startx gnome-session command
the following error is displayed in a terminal, and the system is
functionless:

SESSION_MANAGER=local/mars:/tmp/.ICE_unix/4320
mapping method init - connect: Permission denied

(nautilus:4332): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: module
'/opt/gnome/2.16.1/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libmapping.so' returned a
NULL handle
mapping method init - connect: Permission denied

The above line was repeated a number of times. Closing the terminal error
window ended the session.

I could not open another term to view the environment variables.

So, for me at least, I MUST include $DBUS_LAUNCH when starting any WM that
will use gnome. Otherwise, none of the daemons will work.
