<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ve been told that I should send mail here to help diagnose
a problem with gnome-terminal. I’m running OSX 10.9.3, XQuartz
2.7.6, and Xcode 5.1.1, which should be the latest version of
everything. When I run gnome-terminal, it starts XQuartz if
it’s not already running, but then it dies with the error shown
below. I’ve been through instructions on `port notes dbus`, but
it didn’t help. It seems that dbus is running, but it’s having
trouble with gnome-terminal.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do you have any advice?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Jeff</div>

As Brandon has said, gnome-terminal's backend factory is failing on
startup when started via dbus. However, it appears to work fine
when<br>
started manually. I think this is an upstream problem but I haven't
been able to nail it down as yet.<br>
<br>
The work-around is to execute these commands in sequence to start
the initial gnome-terminal:<br>
<br>
$ /opt/local/libexec/gnome-terminal-server &<br>
$ gnome-terminal<br>
<br>
You need to execute the second command before the
gnome-terminal-server times out (a few seconds) so it's probably
best to put these<br>
in a starter script.<br>
<br>
Please do me a favor and submit a ticket for this problem so we can
track the solution process.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Dave<br>

<div>Ok, that would not be the usual dbus problem. It is
running but can't start gnome-terminal's backend
factory for some reason. You'll need to find the
maintainer for gnome-terminal and ask for help
diagnosing it.</div>
