I saw the same on Fedora 16 (with xfce), if I log on a a regular user,
then su to become root (e.g., to install the rpm package, and then start
johnny as root.

(process:6797): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS
daemon:
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.

QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.

If I use "su -" instead of just "su", then these warnings don't occur.

(I knew I saw that before, but was almost unable to reproduce it, until
I remembered I used "su" instead of "su -" when the problem occurred.)
