Bug Description

Hi

I use the Xsession-launched ssh-agent for my Ubuntu sessions. When launching a xterm with a keyboard shortcut of mine (alt-x) setup in GNOME -- probably same result as if you launch gnome-terminal with ctrl-shift-t), I see SSH_AGENT_PID and SSH_AUTH_SOCK in the env. However, if I run xterm from unity's alt-f2, I don't get these environment variables, wihch is problematic when running scripts from the alt-f2 prompt which use SSH.

Thanks,

Loïc Minier (lool)

This bug was fixed in the package dbus - 1.4.12-4ubuntu2

---------------
dbus (1.4.12-4ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/dbus-Xession: revert debian's commit which changed the way the
    environment is updated for dbus-launch commands, the issue it fixes is
    rather marginal but it creates issues commands run using gio, which is
    the case of i.e indicators or unity "run a command" (lp: #807614, #809900)
