Gnome-screensaver crash

Gnome-screensaver crashes with this error:

$ gnome-screensaver
process 8439: arguments to dbus_connection_add_filter() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 4954.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

I'm in openbox (exec openbox-session in .xinitrc) and dbus is in my deamons array. Is this a bug in the gnome-screensaver package?

Works fine for me, no errors at all.

Re: Gnome-screensaver crash

I receive this error as well if DBus isn't properly started. Try restarting DBus and/or removing any condition causing its startup to fail.

Re: Gnome-screensaver crash

need to add dbus to rc.conf DAEMONS array. default installation didn't add this. so everytime start gnome will cause a crash.
