I still get this error in Xubuntu 14.04 when I run "sudo gnome-disks", and possibly other commands that I can't recall at the moment:
$ sudo gnome-disks [sudo] password for mspacek: ** (gnome-disks:474): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-xW1zTsGFKW: Connection refused Bug #1314782 suggests there's a dbus race condition affecting lots of packages in Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gdk-pixbuf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1193236 Title: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-* Status in pixbuf library for gtk+: Fix Released Status in “gdk-pixbuf” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Since a few days, xsession-errors is fullfilled by that kind of errors: ** (nautilus:22621): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-uUkE07qdBK: Connection refused ** (gedit:22640): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-uUkE07qdBK: Connection refused Similar errors are reported all over the net, but Debian have tried to fix it already: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702517 But some other devs seems to blame an atk-bridge: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/yad-common/nYP0RutlxNA And some others suggest a dbus/gdbus race; the good thing is that seems not disturbing that much the system.
