Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-3.36.1.1-4.fc33 How reproducible: Try to launch gnome-terminal (or any gnome app) in Xorg session from any non-gnome-terminal. mate-terminal for example: $ gnome-terminal Actual results: # Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached Expected results: App successfully launched.

I can confirm this issue. This is not just about upgraded systems, even clean F33 installs show the same problem. In my VM logs, I see: Aug 24 14:26:13 f32 gsd-color[1785]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Aug 24 14:26:13 f32 gsd-color[1785]: Cannot open display: Aug 24 14:26:13 f32 gsd-keyboard[1799]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Aug 24 14:26:13 f32 gsd-keyboard[1799]: Cannot open display: Aug 24 14:26:13 f32 gsd-power[1805]: Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Aug 24 14:26:13 f32 gsd-power[1805]: Cannot open display: ...

This should be already fixed in gnome-shell-3.37.90-2.fc33. Can you guys verify the fix, please?
Discussed at 2020-08-24 blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2020-08-24/f33-blocker-review.2020-08-24-16.07.html . Accepted as a blocker as a violation of "It must be possible to run the default web browser and a terminal application from all release-blocking desktop environments" when GNOME is run on Xorg (which is the default config for some systems).
(In reply to Kalev Lember from comment #4) > This should be already fixed in gnome-shell-3.37.90-2.fc33. Can you guys > verify the fix, please? @Kalev, seems like 'gnome-shell-3.37.90-2.fc33' fixed this issue. Thanks a lot for patching it. Also fix should be in next upstream gnome-shell 3.37.91 version.
if you verify the fix, we can close the bug, as the update got in just under the freeze wire so it's already "stable". Thanks!
