Re: [xmonad] Error message when launching Firefox

Same problem here. Also note the excessive number of "/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session" that are started for some reason. Together with error message mentioned above: (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session)" They just keep on coming, have 406 processes like that now.

This happens only when launching firefox from a keybinding or through dmenu (also launched from a keybinding).

I'm using the xmonad darcs from yesterday (19). xmonad 0.8.1 doesn't suffer from this problem nor do other WMs (openbox and awesome), so I guess it's due to something that changed between 0.8.1 and yesterday. Launching firefox in the affected version from a terminal also has no problems.

I doubt it has something to do with WM. You'd rather investigate how firefox is started. Maybe the cause is the difference in environment variables?

The semantics of how we fork processes changed in the head.

Spencer, thoughts?
