I don't think that this is an acceptable opinion. :-) Both browsers you mentioned are part of KDE or Gnome. THOSE heavily rely on DBUS, that's right, and due to the transition of dependencies, _their_ web browsers also do. For example, I'm not running DBUS here, but I run modern web browsers. I just don't run _those_ two. :-) So did you properly build your KDE and Gnome components with DBUS enabled, and all of their configurable dependencies also with DBUS enabled? It _may_ be that the use of DBUS is not among the default building options for one of the nested dependencies, and that one might be _the one_ that now shoots your foot. :-) Your ps listing indicates that you are running DBUS, so that shouldn't be the problem. Missing DBUS support in one of the required components _could_ be. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
