Re: Where do the DBUS* programs put their crash logs?

I have a rather convoluted way of starting Emacs, running Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit:

[JJR:~] $ cat .startxwinrc
/usr/bin/emacs --daemon

This sets up Emacs to run in client/server mode.  I use "emacsclient"
to bring up the editor window.

Then every time I create a new xterm, my .bashrc does this:

if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ] && [ -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ] ; then
     eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi

There are times when I either close the X session, or close the last
xterm, where it appears the one of the dbus-* utilities crashes (as
well as reporting a warning about \ vs. / path symbols, even though I
have CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning).  I get a console window with what
appears to be some kind of error report.  But it goes away quickly
enough that I have not been able to capture the contents.  I was
hoping it would be logged somewhere, but I don't see anything in
/var/log

How should I go about trying to debug this?

What I'm about to say doesn't answer your question, but it might make the question irrelevant for you. I've decided that I'm not going to try to support GSettings and GConf in emacs-24.3. The D-BUS issues are just causing too much trouble, and it all results from an emacs bug that has been fixed for emacs-24.4. So I'll save the GSettings and GConf support for emacs-24.4.


I expect to make a new test release in a few days that no longer requires a D-BUS session daemon.
