problems running dbus enabled X session

Hello,
I wanted to start using BMPx and Tapioca. They both need dbus. I managed to launch both of them with dbus-launch.
I read on the BMPx wiki and on this forum that in order to create a dbus for all programs in an x session I need to launch my WM with dbus-launch. So I added this line to my .xinitrc

exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox

I also tried it with --auto-syntax and --sh-syntax.
I also tried xfce and fluxbox.

In all above casses both BMPx and Tapioca complained with :

beep-media-player-2: Couldn't connect to session bus: Unable to determine the address of the message bus

unless launched with dbus-launch.
And dbus-montior claimed there's no bus

I tried it also while running the dbus daemon and while not running it...

when I do

echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

I get nothing but when I run dbus-launch with no paramaters in a xterm I get :

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS='unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-5hsKboPaLc,guid=95c03244924aebfa7fd676e4debfb300';
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=3388;

I'm running out of ideas, is anyone experiencing the same problems and/or knows the solution?

Thank you,
Grey

Re: problems running dbus enabled X session

I have also troubles with tapioca and the dbus.

** (tapiocaui:19304): WARNING **: failed to open connection to dbus

I'm running kde 3.5.2-2 and started dbus and then hal before I restarted X.
