You know, there probably is a case for DBus, at least. I don't know about this stuff, but I know that I'm generally the exception. But you're going about it in a very bad way to make your point. $ eix -I --only-names | grep -e 264 -e firefox -e deluge -e xorg media-libs/x264 net-p2p/deluge www-client/firefox x11-base/xorg-server $ eix -I --only-names | grep dbus $ I would have thought that amongst tmux users there were fewer people who needed DBus than in the wider Ubuntu-using population. My problem with starting X11 apps from within tmux is that I get a screenful of shite - diagnostic output about GTK libraries being accessed and stuff. So I just don't tend to do it, but use a separate window on an otherwise-empty virtual desktop -I run `ssh host -X firefox` then ignore that terminal window completely. I'd love it if you'd help me use tmux more effectively, though.
