Cannot change gedit preferences in 24.04

[Simon Glass]

Fresh install of 24.04

Ran gedit and tried to change the colour scheme in Preferences->Fonts & Colors

Every time I do, it presents this error on the terminal:

(gedit:14504): dconf-WARNING **: 12:39:50.270: failed to commit changes to dconf: Failed to execute child process “dbus-launch” (No such file or directory)

The fix seems to be:

   sudo apt install dbus-x11

but in that case, shouldn't that package be included in the install as a dependency of gedit?
