I really meant it the way I said it: The problem occurs if the system
bus *is* running. I've done some further testing, and here are the
results, all with a build of emacs from the trunk, starting in the emacs
src directory.
1. With the system bus not running, I start Emacs via 'dbus-launch
./emacs.exe -Q&' and load dbus.el. In the *scratch* buffer I evaluate
some of the expressions that you suggested in your earlier email:
(dbus-get-unique-name :session)
":1.0"
(defun my-dbus-signal-handler (&rest args)
(message "Signal from bus %s received: %s"
(dbus-event-bus-name last-input-event) args))
my-dbus-signal-handler
(dbus-register-signal
:session dbus-service-dbus dbus-path-dbus dbus-interface-dbus
"NameOwnerChanged" 'my-dbus-signal-handler)
((:session "org.freedesktop.DBus" "NameOwnerChanged")
("org.freedesktop.DBus" "/org/freedesktop/DBus" my-dbus-signal-handler))
Now I try 'dbus-monitor --session' in the xterm window from which I
started emacs. This produces output in the xterm window, but I don't
see anything in Emacs.
Back to *scratch*:
(dbus-get-unique-name :system)
This throws me into the lisp debugger with the error (dbus-error "Failed
to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection
refused"). I guess this is to be expected, since the system bus is not
running. I now start the system bus via 'net start messagebus' in a
shell, and I try again:
(dbus-get-unique-name :system)
":1.0"
Is this to be expected, that I get the same name for :system that I got
for :session?
2. With the system bus running, I start Emacs as above and load dbus.el.
The cursor stops blinking, and Emacs becomes unresponsive. I can type
C-g and hear a bell, and I can type C-x C-c to exit, but I can't get a
response to any other key presses.
I'm willing to try anything else you suggest. Otherwise, I hope you're
able to debug this when you return from your travels. The unstripped
emacs-X11.exe binary (Emacs 23.2) is at
http://www.math.cornell.edu/~kbrown/emacs-X11.exe.bz2
and the binary for my build from the trunk is at
http://www.math.cornell.edu/~kbrown/emacs.exe.bz2
