Two dbus questions

[Bob Bernstein <poobah%ruptured-duck.com@localhost>]

I am using 9.99.81 amd64 (GENERIC)

1. I built the gnome3 metapackage, and tried gedit from the 
commandline. The editor launched, but not before issuing this:

"(gedit:18215): dconf-WARNING **: 14:19:18.664: failed to commit 
changes to dconf: Cannot spawn a message bus without a 
machine-id: Unable to load /var/lib/dbus/machine-id or 
/etc/machine-id: Failed to open file ?/var/lib/dbus/machine-id?: 
No such file or directory"

But I just ran 'sh /etc/weekly' and see this:

# locate machine-id
/var/db/dbus/machine-id

For dbus:
# pkg_info -c dbus
Information for dbus-1.12.20:

2. When I try to launch gnome-session I get another dbus failure 
notice but I have not grabbed it yet. Something about no 'dbus' 
user and/or no dbus GID. Sorry.

Thank you.
