Dbus

Is it possible to check if an application uses dbus. Somehow rhythmbox can't use the radio or podcast function unless I run it with dbus-launch, so is there anyway to check or should I just run every app like that ?

Re: Dbus

You can start dbus for the session with something like:

if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
       eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi

Re: Dbus

You could always start DBUS as a service, if you want it running constantly. Just add it to /etc/rc.conf

Re: Dbus

That isn't a user session though, and won't work for the same purposes.
