Title:
  Several applications appear irresponsible after communicating with
  DBus

Status in “dbus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  ************
   ROOT CAUSE 
  ************

  Several programs in Xfce have a daemon mode call gtk_init() before
  fork()ing.

  This is unsafe, and when it goes wrong this will typically manifest as
  the daemon hanging shortly after forking, and appearing to simply do
  nothing at all.
