I'm getting the following error when I try to start my desktop with xfce4-session installed (which, except for the process ID, is just like the other failure reports I've found in the mailing list archives): === process 1675: arguments to dbus_message_new_signal() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1165. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

OK, a general question then: could anyone running an FreeBSD 8.0 amd64 kernel/userland report that they have a working Xorg 7.5/xfce4 installation? -- Richard Kuhns My Desk: 765-269-8541 Wintek Corporation Internet Support: 765-269-8503 427 N 6th Street STE C Consulting: 765-269-8504 Lafayette, IN 47901-2211 Accounting: 765-269-8502
