I recently tried to set up AucTeX SyncTeX with evince under GNU Emacs 24.4. From an ordinary emacs session it work oput of the box after activating TeX-source-correlate-mode, but under my standard Daemon session Dbus refuses to work properly. TeX-Evince-sync-view fails with a DBus 'no conncetion' error, so I tried M-: (dbus-init-bus :system) but that returns ((:signal :system "org.freedesktop.DBus.Local" "Disconnected") (nil "/org/freedesktop/DBus/Local" dbus-handle-bus-disconnect))
and M-: dbus-init-bus :session fails accordingly with 'no connection'.
Does anyone know how to get DBus running properly under Emacs in Daemon mode?
When you connect to D-Bus from Emacs, it must know where the respective dbus-daemon resides. Usually, it knows it via the environment variable $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. So set this variable in your daemonized Emacs before you call (dbus-init-bus :session) or alike
