Hi,
The recent update to dbus to 1.14 seems to cause issues with xfce startup.
I've not investigated it much still, but I'm unable to login into xfce
after the upgrade, a window comes out saying it cannot connect to the
settings manager, and xfce-session crashes.
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.
