Yes.
It does work with:

Code: Select all

dbus-launch caja --no-desktop
Brasero can't detect blank CD - solution! :|

What is needed to be done in order to not to enter dbus-launch for applications like Brasero, Caja, Gigolo etc. to work properly?

You need to do something like this during session startup:

Code: Select all

if which dbus-launch >/dev/null && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
       eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
Or this:

Code: Select all

dbus-launch /usr/bin/openbox-session

Thank you very much. I will try this.
Is this set by default in newer Salix OS releases?

Afaik it is in most DE's. It was e.g. missing with the never released Openbox betas at some point. But on the other hand XFCE had it since the very beginning. I didn't check every other one though.

Excellent! :D I finally have my mate(gnome)-panel back which I had to leave behind when
moving to Salix. My for me ultimate linux box: Fluxbox with mate-panel. Had to substitute it with xfce4-panel.

All seems to work properly.

I am using gdm.
I have added a new .desktop file: /usr/share/xsessions/dbus-launch_fluxbox.desktop

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Name=Fluxbox (D-Bus)
Exec=dbus-launch /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.fluxbox

I don't use the panels and all the rest of the components of MATE.
I like Fluxbox, IceWM and Xfce :-D

And you didn't think of mentioning this before? You problems have nothing to do with mate.
