I'm seeing the same wayland/broadway thing with gnome-terminal-server, but I have to strace systemd instead of dbus-daemon in that case. Restoring a session specific bus makes the problems go away: DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="" eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` Bug 1281675 seems to also be about this problem, although perhaps from a different perspective. It did reveal dbus-update-activation-environment however. And I hence discovered /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh. Running that fixes the ThinLinc/VNC case, but not SSH. And that's because $XAUTHORITY isn't set for SSH. But first setting it, and then running the script; that fixes the issue. Looks like more work is needed before this idea is ready for general use. Any easy way to back out this change from systemd? (And I still think it's a bad idea to repurpose the session bus. Feel free to add a new user bus, but don't go changing the scope of an existing bus.) Another bug caused by this is that the language setting is not respected since $LANG is set by GDM, but gnome-terminal, nautilus, etc. are spawned by systemd and hence use the system $LANG. So half my UI is in the system language, and half is in the user language. I think it may have broken Evolution too (no mail after logging into user account more than once), see GNOME #768680. this is a dbus change not a systemd change, correcting component. Note that the "fix" in upstream Gnome only solves the issue when you are using a Gnome desktop. Gnome applications such as totem are still broken on other desktops, e.g. Mate. And today I noticed that Xfce is broken since xfce4-notifyd fails to start:

I just ran into this today myself. On Fedora 25. I had to unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in order to run apps on Xming over PuTTY. This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.

Fedora 24 has now configured the session DBus to be shared between all active sessions for the same user. I.e: DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus rather than Fedora 23's: DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-0HpbO1JUYG,guid=39f9c10acfd5ea432be0666e57762986 Besides breaking the fundamental issue of this being a _session_ bus, not a _user_ bus, this causes programs to misbehave. Most prominent example is gnome-terminal, which now fails to start on anything but the local, default X server. E.g. logging in over ssh breaks it. Starting an Xvnc breaks it. etc. I assume the only reason it works locally is because $DISPLAY is transferred over and the local X server is configured to allow all local connections with the same user.
