Incorrect. The JHBuild manual is up-to-date. The JHBuild manual, JHBuild
wiki and JHBuild READMEs are up-to-date and consistent.

Xephyr does have problems with 3D - and 3D is used heavily by GNOME 3.x.
Use the display manager method, or use a nested server that supports 3D.
Something like Xephyr-with-gl-acceleration [1], but I've not tried it.

Hi Frank,

Try the display manager method, as Xephyr has problems with 3D. Also your
error messages suggests a problem with dbus. Did you follow the dbus
section from the manual, that has the following commands:
$ rm -rf /opt/gnome/var/run/dbus
$ ln -s /var/run/dbus /opt/gnome/var/run/dbus
$ rm -rf /opt/gnome/var/lib/dbus/machine-id
$ ln -s /var/lib/dbus/machine-id /opt/gnome/var/lib/dbus/machine-id

I'm running Fedora 15 and gnome 3.4 module set. The JHBuild GNOME desktop
loads.
