[Bug 325706] Re: [jaunty] Xephyr fails with D-Bus AccessDenied

[Neil Mayhew]

I can confirm that running the following command once enables sugar-
emulator to work, so this is NOT a Xephyr problem:

gconftool-2 -s /desktop/sugar/desktop/favorites_layout -t string ring-
layout

I will file a new bug against the sugar package, or add this information
to an existing bug.

Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed

Bug description:
Running Xephyr from xserver-xephyr 2:1.5.99.902-0ubuntu1 fails with an error like:

[config/dbus] couldn't take over org.x.config: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied (Connection ":1.260" is not allowed to own the service "org.x.config.display2" due to security policies in the configuration file)

I suspect this is due to the recent D-Bus policy change, e.g. bug 318752.

It can be reproduced by running "Xephyr :2" in jaunty.
