fails to start after upgrade to feisty

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

Upgraded to feisty yesterday and the deskbar applet is failing to start. Here's the output from bug-buddy:

Having posted a bug report, deskbar has of course worked perfectly since the last time I logged in. Have not done anything in the way of upgrades or messing around with config files. The only thing I can think of was that I ran tracker-search-tool for the first time since upgrading to feisty, maybe that initialised something the deskbar tracker extension needed? Just a shot in the dark.

Will close this in a week if there are no recurrences.

Spoke too soon, can reproduce this reliably now, pattern is that deskbar works fine on first login from a freshly booted machine but if I logout and log back in it fails to start. I am getting error messages twice about this now, the first one with additional info about .xsession errors. Attached.

Accordingly to the remote bug watch attached, it seems related to dbus. Is it working properly in your box?

[Simon Hepburn (sth)]

Seems to be working OK apart from this one issue, I have the same number of dbus processes running in both instances. Are there any specific tests I can run?

I see the upstream bug report has been rejected because of the same issue. Maybe reassign to dbus?

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Maybe the right one is python-dbus.

Fixed now.
