[SOLVED] gnome apps not starting..

I've recently done a fresh arch install with the Gnome DE..
But most of the apps don't run...
when executing the gnome-terminal command i get the following output :

error constructing proxy for org.gnome.terminal...

sorry cannot paste the full output as using xterm...

upon googling a bit I found that it may be a locale issue.. but I checked that everything is fine as it shoud be
as , locale -a gives :

C
en_US.utf8
POSIX

localectl gives :

system locale : en_US.UTF-8
vc keymap : us
x11 layout : us

so I think this may not be a locale issue..
is there a bug with the current version of gnome apps or am I doing something wrong??

Re: [SOLVED] gnome apps not starting..

I had the same issue and I found the solution in this topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=202759.

Precisely, I added:

 source /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh 

to my .xinitrc
