XFMedia complaint (under XFCE4)

Can anyone explain this?

** (xfmedia:13050): WARNING **: Failed to open a connection to the D-BUS session bus.  Please ensure that the session bus is running. (11: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-W8eE42n5N8: Connection refused)

XFMedia works, but it won't close, and I'm guessing this is the reason.

Edit: It's because I'm a non-root user... I figure there'll be a DBUS group I need to add myself to *goes to verify*

Edit 2: I've added my non-root user to DBUS, rebooted to be safe, but still I get the error for non-root running 'xfmedia' Help, anyone?

Re: XFMedia complaint (under XFCE4)

is the dbus daemon running?
do you start xfce as a dbus session, i.e. do you start it   like that:
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session --auto-syntax startxfce4
in your ~/.xinitrc ?

I don't use xfce so I'm not sure if startxfce4 if the right command.

aah.. thanks loads Snowman; I'm running it frem /etc/rc.conf, but I remember having problems like this years ago with Gnome.. you're right, it should be a command along those lines; I'll have a fiddle now

Cheers mate.
