Annoying compiz error

Well, i just installed arch and want to install compiz fusion so i went to the wiki and followed the isntructions.  But, whenever i try to start compiz i get this error:

fusion-icon
 * Detected Session: gnome
 * Searching for installed applications...
Backend     : gconf

Profile     : default

also, i have to start fusion-icon from root or it wont give me the correct permissions... any ideas?

Re: Annoying compiz error

Do you have dbus installed?

It seems to be a dbus error ( see the last line:

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Re: Annoying compiz error

What it returns if you do

/etc/rc.d/dbus restart

from root?

Re: Annoying compiz error

This is the output form that command...

:: Stopping D-BUS system messagebus                                      [DONE] 
:: Starting D-BUS system messagebus                                      [DONE]

I don't really see anything wrong from there... at all lol

Re: Annoying compiz error

What groups are your user in? Compiz works for me, I'm in these groups: dbus hal audio optical storage users pulse-access

Re: Annoying compiz error

I had some problems whit bdus in tha past, what i did, was change the order of the daemon,  now dbus is started right after network, and didnt had any problems since then, dunno if it was coincidence

And I definitly advice you to put the gdm daemon in the last position (sorry about my english)

Re: Annoying compiz error

Have you tried logging in and out after adding yourself to the groups? Show us some logs, perhaps

Re: Annoying compiz error

ok well i've changed the permission on the .config folder in my home so i can now attempt to start "fusion-icon" form my normal user and not root.  But i  now get this eroor message

dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session

if i do a:

dbus-launch fusion-icon

then compiz loads but i get no window borders, nor do i get an icon in the system tray
