[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#639261: dbus allows just one remote session at a time

[Harald Dunkel]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.2.24-4+squeeze1

I would like to run gnome-terminal on several remote Linux
machines in parallel (Squeeze and openSUSE 11.3). My desktop
runs Squeeze, too.

Problem: For the _second_ Debian host (and all following
Debian hosts) I get an error message like

% gnome-terminal
Failed to get the session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-dDOKmLi6GG: Connection refused
Falling back to non-factory mode.
Failed to summon the GConf demon; exiting.  Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-dDOKmLi6GG: Connection refused)

gnome-terminal works fine on the first Debian host, on my
desktop PC and all remote openSUSE hosts. xterm works every-
where.

Of course I didn't touch the default dbus configuration on any
host.
