Gnome-terminal, files problem

Hallo,

I have a fresh installed Arch with Gnome. Everything works fine, but sadly I run to some not-fatal problems, but still annoying. I think they are all connected. The main thing is that they cannot be simply opened:
First about the Gnome Terminal. I try to click on it's icon in the tray, it starts loading (no window opens) and then nothing. I try opening it from the xterm and I get

nmladenov@best-pc Downloads]$ gnome-terminal
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 10

I found some solutions here:
This , but didn't work, then this and https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46374 . This is my .xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then







    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then







    xrdb -merge "$userresources"

fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

twm &
xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login 

Yes, I can use xterm... but I want gnome terminal ...

The problem with nautilus is when I click it (again) from the icon it won't load. When I start it from the terminal it runs ok. (same for gedit btw)

I hope someone can help me!

Re: Gnome-terminal, files problem

This worked for me

in your ~/.xinitrc replace

exec gnome-session

with

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session
