Problem with gnome-screensaver, output error

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when i try to launch the command "sudo gnome-screensaver" to start the screensaver, the output is:

** (gnome-screensaver:24424): WARNING **: Unable to get session bus: Using X11 for dbus-daemon autolaunch was disabled at compile time, set your DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS instead

** (gnome-screensaver:24424): WARNING **: failed to register with the message bus

I try to setup the variable (?) DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, but without success.

Could anyone help me to solve this problem?

thank you.

Re: Problem with gnome-screensaver, output error

Why do you want to start "gnome-screensaver" as root?

The output you posted only lists "warnings", not "errors". What behavior are you expecting? What is the problem. How are you confirming that there is a problem?
