Title:
  GUI launch fails strangely when done from a secondary login, ssh -X

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  Here's what I did:

  ssh -X seconduser@localhost
  evince myfile.pdf

  
  ie, after logging in as a different user, I launch evince.  It does not fully die (ie it stays in the foreground / I don't get my prompt back), but no window comes up and I get:

  Failed to get bus connection: Command line `dbus-launch
  --autolaunch=<some hexy code here> --binary-syntax --close-stderr'
  exited with non-zero exit status 1: EOF in dbus-launch reading address
  from bus daemon\n

  (where I've removed some hexy code in case it's private).

  Other applications like xterm and acroread launch just fine.
