Rainbow is not using the session bus at all, just the system one.

But when the child tries to instantiate a SessionBus object, I get this stack trace:

This is the value of the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS env var:
unix:path=/tmp/olpc-session-bus,guid=fdf37ebd35a585d12382a50047ac3034

unix:path=/tmp/olpc-session-bus is specified
in /etc/dbus-1/session-olpc.conf:

<busconfig>
  <!-- Our well-known bus type, don't change this -->
  <type>session</type>

  <listen>unix:path=/tmp/olpc-session-bus</listen>

  <standard_session_servicedirs />
...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tomeu
