Bug#712104: gnome-terminal doesn't start

[Christian Holm Christensen]

Hi all,

I had a similar problem.

I have to machines running Debian 'sid'.   I log into to one of them
remotely, and then try to start gnome-terminal on the remote machine.   It
fails with

  ** (gnome-terminal:32635): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility
bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-BsBR70aN1R: Connection refused
  Error constructing proxy for
org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Could not connect:
Connection refused

Since DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS isn't set on the remote host, it doesn't
help to unset that.  However, if I start the remote gnome-terminal like

  gnome-terminal --disable-factory

then I get the first warning about connection to DBUS but not the second
error, and the terminal starts just fine.

Thought this might help.

Yours,

--
