Description
affected environment: Xserver and dbus using software on different machines after reboot the dbus application software machine, the application is not able to connect to an dbus-daemon.
The problem:
dbus uses the feature to save the connection information about the unix socket in an window at the X-server. after rebooting the working machine, the information is obsolet, but still aviable in the X-server. Therefor, no new daemon will be started.....
The problem is in the source File 'dbus-launch.c' where it calls 'x11_get_address' and uses only the existence of an address, but don't check the validity!
