GDBus-debug:Address: launchctl command line: `launchctl getenv DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET' GDBus-debug:Address: env var DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE is not set GDBus-debug:Address: env var DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS is not set GDBus-debug:Address: env var DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set GDBus-debug:Address: In g_dbus_address_get_for_bus_sync() for bus type 'session' You can get more debugging output from glib2 by setting the additional env variable I can override the GIMP dbus error by setting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS with this valueĮxport DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS='unix:path=/tmp/launch-vW5khj/unix_domain_listener' $ launchctl getenv DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET On my 10.9.5 system, manually running the command yields the socket address as follows. We have added custom code that attempts to obtain the socket path using the the launchctl command mentioned in the error message if DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set. The stock code expects the environment variable DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS to be set a session debus address of the form 'unix:path='.

The dbus issue seems to be with the GDBus API provided by the GIO component of glib2.

It appears there are two separate issues involved here, first the dbus problem and secondly the gimp plugin one. Thanks for opening this ticket and confirming the problem.
