Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] uable to determine address of the message bus

["John Russell" <jjrussell gmail com>]

Thanks for both messages.  No, apparently no other commands were
finding the bus either, rb was just the only one I noticed because the
gnome-power-management applet was working and I know that throws and
error when the dbus session isn't set up right.  However, because I
was using dbus-launch gnome-session and the applet is launched by the
session that's why it worked.  But when I ran rb from a terminal to
see the output, it wasn't technically launched by the session.  Is
that right?

Either way, I put the if statement that Jonathan sent out into my
startup scripts and all dbus thingies work wonderfully.  thanks for
the help.
