From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051018 Epiphany/1.8.2 Description of problem: The dbus-launch utility is not present in the dbus package. Without this utility, the Xinitrc scripts cannot start the session bus. Any and all applications that rely on the session bus thus have reduced functionality or do not function at all. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dbus-0.50-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install dbus package 2. try to find dbus-launch Additional info:
Hey sean, dbus-launch is in the dbus-x11 package because it brings in x11 dependancies which caused some people concern who needed to audit D-Bus but didn't want to have to audit X11 in their enviornments. Right now it is pulled in by desktop-printing which has been pulled in by comps since at least FC4. dbus-z11 should really be pulled in by anything that needs the session bus to run. I'll put out a shoutout on fedora-devel for this. Closing as notabug because there is no option for not my bug :-)
