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

[Adam Nelson]

This is also a problem with xvfb:

ubuntu$ sudo Xvfb :43 -screen 0 640x480x24
[config/dbus] couldn't take over org.x.config: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied (Connection ":1.84" is not allowed to own the service "org.x.config.display43" due to security policies in the configuration file)
(EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: unknown error (null)

I don't think this has anything to do with sugar, except in so much as
sugar is hitting the X and dbus errors.

Also, just so nobody asks, there is no Xorg.0.log file on a server with
just xvfb.  It's not clear to me that xvfb has a method for more logging
although I'll run anything people ask me to in order to help debug this.

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.
