Description Forgotten User 7L3tOtZIov 2010-10-03 06:52:55 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/1.0.2-0.1 StumbleUpon/1.9993 Firefux/3.6.6

After the instalation of the XFCE Selection (So no KDE or GNOME) with the DVD when selecting YaST with the menu, the application `xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2` starts and asks for the password. After that a short message is seen and the terminal closes.

This means no YaST2 can be launched from the menu.

When I try `xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2` it will result in the same issue by not launching YaST2
When I try it with yast instead of yast2, yast launches as expected in CLI mode.
When I first do `su -` and then enter `/sbin/yast2` it launches without a problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install XFCE
2. Go to menu, System, YaST
3. Enter password
4. No launch of YaST2
Actual Results:  
YaST GUI does not launch

Expected Results:  
YaST GUI should launch

This is not specific to YaST but due to a problem with glib.
