question that relate to working with Terminal, or even terminal emulators in general. If
you know of a question that's missing from this page, please <a class="ulink" href="http://bugzilla.xfce.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Terminal&format=guided" target="_top">file a request</a>.</p><div class="sect2" title="Terminal complains about Unable to start terminal server: Unable to connect to D-BUS message daemon, what can I do?"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id550214"></a>Terminal complains about <code class="literal">Unable to start terminal server: Unable to connect
to D-BUS message daemon</code>, what can I do?</h3></div></div></div><p>Terminal tries to reduce the number of running instances by establishing a D-BUS service
that handles all terminal windows. The message above tells you that Terminal wasn't able to
connect to the D-BUS session message daemon and register a service. This is just a warning,
you can use the terminal without the D-BUS service feature as well.</p><p>To start the D-BUS session message daemon when you login to your X session, either
modify your xinitrc file and change the line <code class="literal">xfce4-session</code> to
<code class="literal">dbus-launch xfce4-session</code> or use <code class="literal">dbus-launch startxfce4</code>
to start Xfce instead. If you don't use Xfce, please look at the documentation of your
desktop environment on how to enable the D-BUS session daemon.</p></div><div class="sect2" title="Home and End keys don't work in Terminal, what's wrong?"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id550253"></a><span class="keycap"><strong>Home</strong></span> and <span class="keycap"><strong>End</strong></span> keys don't work in Terminal, what's wrong?</h3></div></div></div><p>This problem is actually a bug in <a class="ulink" href="http://developer.gnome.org/arch/gnome/widgets/vte.html" target="_top">vte</a>,
the terminal widget used by Terminal. A patch for vte that fixes the problem is available <a class="ulink" href="http://lunar-linux.org/lunar/patches/vte-0.11.11-termcap.patch" target="_top">here</a> (this patch was created
with version 0.11.11 of vte, it may not work with other versions).
