please use dbus-run-session, and/or dbus-daemon directly, in tests

[Laurent Bigonville]

Hi,

As explained in this debian bug[0], could it be possible to update the tests to use dbus-run-session and/or dbus-daemon instead of dbus-launch?

Hello everyone.

I worked myself through the mass bug filing [1] and some related manpages and want to sum this up as:

They want to keep the usage of dbus-x11 as low as possibly (at least on debian).
There might be some changes coming to dbus-launch regarding the Autolaunching feature.

But dbus-launch will be supported for a while although it seems to have some nasty side effects (but we are only using it for testing).

The source [0] from Laurent Bigonville suggests concrete changes in the ./tests/shell and a few Cmake-files. I will try them in the next weeks and give a patch if it works as expected.

Hello again!

I implemented the mentioned changes. The unit-tests seem to work as before, but the test-shell is not longer able to clean the created environment. I will try to find a way around this next week.

Unassigning myself because I does not find a good workaround around the problem mentioned in comment 2.
