Comment 71 for bug 328575

I didn't work, until I caught on the typo (ticks instead of backticks). Here is the corrected script:

#!/bin/sh
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2&
gnome-terminal

Now it does indeed work. I can gksudo this script and can also invoke it remotely.
