Description

After login as user root on xfce4 either application launcher nor url links on own desktop can not be started. Only the default desktop icons (home, trash ..) can be started. Starting desktop files from /root/Desktop accours error:

Failed to run "Terminal%20Emulator.desktop" Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken
