[Bug 812940] Re: dbus behaviour change from natty to oneiric: now enables X11 autolaunch

[Danjel McGougan]

I solved my problem by telling uptrack not to check gconf for network
proxy settings.

In the general case, how are cron jobs supposed to query gconf with this
new behavior? Or is that not supported?

Title:
  dbus behaviour change from natty to oneiric: now enables X11
  autolaunch

Status in “dbus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu dbus package is not explicitly setting configure options.
  The latest version of lp:ubuntu/dbus appears to have introduced a new
  option (?) which is defaulting to "enabled". The option is "--
  enable-x11-autolaunch":

  ./configure
  grep "^#define DBUS_ENABLE_X11_AUTOLAUNCH" config.h

  (The question mark about is due to the fact that the natty dbus
  package doesn't seem to have a configure.ac script so can't do a
  direct diff).

  The behaviour now is that if you are running in an environment where
  there is no X11, you get this error when you first attempt to use a
  binary/lib that requires dbus:

    Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11'

  This behaviour is different to that with natty. Fix would appear to be
  to set "--disable-x11-autolaunch" explicitly (and maybe audit the
  other options to check for changes).
