Uhhm, I followed your lead and discovered that these Debian packages had been
automatically installed to satisfy xfce4-terminal's dependencies:
ii dbus-1 0.23.4-8 simple interprocess messaging system
ii dbus-glib-1 0.23.4-8 simple interprocess messaging system (GLib-b
Which explained why I started seeing this message at boot (which I didn't
bother to look into):
Tue Dec 27 17:53:59 2005: Starting system message bus: dbus-1.
My new doubt then is: why doesn't xfce4-terminal also have dependency on
dbus-1-utils, since dbus-1 and dbus-glib-1 are not enough to provide the DBUS
service ?
If I understood things correctly, the DBUS daemon was being started (the boot
message tells me that) but no Xfce application was using it because
dbus-1-utils wasn't installed. It seems to me that either dbus-1-utils should
also be automatically pulled, or no dbus packages should be pulled at all. It
looks like dbus-1 and dbus-glib-1 are useless on their own.
Would it be the case of filing a bug against xfce4-terminal, or am I missing
something ?
Thanks for not giving up on this thread !
Paulo
