#17019 closed defect (fixed)

The dbus port should set up a session daemon

Port: dbus

Description

Currently the dbus port doesn't set up a way for the session bus daemon to run on login. While X11 apps can use the dbus autolaunch functionality, applications that are compiled without X11 support cannot use dbus without a session bus already running.

There are some comments at bug #16755 that are relevant.

There are three ways to set up the session-daemon: by manually starting it with the app you want to run; via a startup script (eg .profile); or via launchd.

Using launchd would be preferable, as that would mean only one session-bus instance per login.
