This reply from Arch-Linux (with Gnome) may help.  I don't think we
have an .xinitrc, but the idea of two users is new to me.  I get beside
the Akonadi icon on a right-click, that it is disabled, but nothing
more. I am used to running Totem under KDE, and being told that the
Gnome dbus service can't be found.  Totem starts up all the same.

In my case, the KDE theme sounds about 30 seconds later, but there are
no messages.

Found an old post with the solution!! big_smile

basically dbus runs a system bus and a user bus. rc.conf starts the
system bus but I needed to add "launch-dbus" to the exec line
of .xinitrc Now gnome-do and docky both work!
