--- Comment #18 from John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs@snkmail.com> ---
I have a running dbus under mate [1].  It fails unless I use dbus-launch (w=
hich
effectively starts a new dbus session) [2].

Same failure described by the OP:

% /usr/local/bin/gnome-terminal
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory=
0:
Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process
org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 8

A while ago (years) I tried using gnome (3) for the session (now I use mate)
and had the same error.  I don't know right now if it's still a problem when
running under a gnome session.  I'll try the next time I restart my desktop
session.  If not, I suppose this could be considered a mate bug, but it see=
ms
like gnome-terminal should be a little more resilient and be able to set up
dbus session things itself in an existing session.

[2] 'dbus-launch gnome-terminal' works fine (but starts a new session bus
instance of dbus-daemon).
