At present, as a a local workaround, I've reinstalled the old dbus-1.12.20_5.pkg file I had on my build machine and everything works fine again. Unluckily I have no idea what the issue is, and also not sure how to diagnose it. startxfce4 launched from the console without X11 running starts the Xserver and launches a bunch of programs but screen stays black. Usually I have lightdm running and from there I get a window with the error I described before. Looks like the user process for dbus fails to start some way. launching dbus-launch by hand does not seem to help though. Maybe xfce4-session is at fault and trying to connect in some unsupported way? I really don't know that much about dbus. -- Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org>
