Cannot make edits- WARNING **: Could not connect: Connection refused

[Sepero]

Tried to add 'truecrypt' to unity whitelist, using dconf-editor. When adding it to the list of items, it immediately reverts to previous state.

I saw some errors using other programs to indicate that dbus is not running. I don't know if these problems may be related.

At the bottom, I have the related output of gsettings. Here is the output of dconf-editor

a@EMONSTER:~$ dconf-editor

I discovered that this problem was occuring because the terminal (running in screen) was no longer attached to the current Xsession. So the only issue here is that the output message could be more clear.
