Bug#712104: gnome-terminal: gksu gnome-terminal doesn't start in certain conditions

[lmelahn at legionaries.org]

Something that might shed light on this bug:

 

>From a normal terminal (or from ALT+F2) do:

 

    gksu xterm &

 

It starts up xterm without any issues.

Then from the xterm window do

 

   gnome-terminal &

 

The following error message comes up:

 

Error constructing proxy for
org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling
StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process
/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server exited with status 1

 

Unsetting the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS does nothing to eliminate the
problem.
