/usr/bin/dbus-launch is part of dbus-x11, which is not installed on my
machine.  The strange thing is that "gnome" package is installed, and it
does not depend on dbus-x11.

After installing dbus-x11, the problem disappeared.  So, this bug should
be re-named (and re-assigned) to "gnome should depend on dbus-x11".

Then you for help.
