[Bug 853709] Re: libdbus segfaults on sessionbus termination violently killing dbus-avare apps

[alquery]

Can you attach your ~/.xsession-errors file so we can see what exactly
the system is like when the segfault occurs

Title:
  libdbus segfaults on sessionbus termination violently killing dbus-
  avare apps

Status in “dbus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This happens on ubuntu natty (not sure about maverick), when you replace the default login manager with SLiM, who does not care about sessions too much
  The dbus session daemon is run with --exit-with-session parameter, which means it runs, runs.. and then, without any reason is gone.
  That might be okay..  but  how does libdbus respond to missing sessionbus daemon?  It segfaults.  And that's sure wrong.
  Even if the app is not actively using the bus..   initializing libdbus is enough... for violent death.

  Sure, the reason why dbus quits should be fixed too..   but this bug
  is for the libdbus segfault only.

  Even firefox uses DBus today. So, suddenly, without any warning all my
  apps are gone.  Except for a VoIP tray icon.
