Description Alex 2015-02-02 13:35:08 UTC 
Every time I start my SDL2-based application, I see error message in terminal:

process 2470: arguments to dbus_connection_open_private() were incorrect, assertion "address != NULL" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-connection.c line 2647.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.


Looks like my app works fine for now, but this error message bother me. May be later this error can harm my app normal working.

Latest hg version of SDL on which I tested it is ad4f430cc9f5. On older version I had this bug too.

Please fix this bug.

Marking a large number of bugs with the "triage-2.0.4" keyword at once. Sorry if you got a lot of email from this. This is to help me sort through some bugs in regards to a 2.0.4 release. We may or may not fix this bug for 2.0.4, though!
