I've been getting this error on multiple occasions.
When I enter sudo mousepad I get the following output.
[privileged@arched ~]$ sudo mousepad
(mousepad:981): Mousepad-CRITICAL **: 14:12:48.549: Failed to initialize xfconf: Error spawning command line “dbus-launch --autolaunch=91073612dabc1ec21befa5a96098e9f6 --binary-syntax --close-stderr”: Child process exited with code 1
This error can also be seen when I try to meddle with the preferences of gedit.
First I enter sudo gedit Which works fine and launches gedit. But when I try to change anything in the prefrence section such as the background colour or text size, It doesn't work and the see the following error in the terminal
sudo gedit

Here's some information that I think might be useful
[privileged@arched ~]$ dbus-launch
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-PxRC1o8yHu,guid=fad87b8416da5e19055aef0d6098f385
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=1140
[privileged@arched ~]$ cat /etc/machine-id

Is the problem with my terminal since it tried spawing it but failed? I am really lost here.
