Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
This affects several applications, like file-roller (on Snow Leopard).
My version of dbus is: @1.2.16, Revision 1 (devel)
It has also been reported in the past and people have been rebuilding it with x but it is hard for the less savvy.
Here is a good reference to a similar problem and a proposed fix:
May I suggest you change the default?
I am not sure if one could get all applications affected to specify a variant (with-x) instead. I am not sure why the default is without X).

Not sure if that's the case for this (old) bug report, but when I see similar things now what's usually going on is that something couldn't find dbus with launchd, then tries to fall back on dbus's X support and gives an error because we don't build that. The solution is to make dbus/launchd work, not to rebuild it with X support.
Can't reproduce with current versions.
