Running ubuntu 10.10 as a headless server, xming xserver on xp. Starting firefox from ssh via putty. When I start I get "Client failed to connect to D-BUS daemon : Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-{some hash..}: Connection refused. An xming error comed up on XP saying no DBus daemon running. First time I ran ok for a day or two but now firefox is unuseable and loses setting, bookmarks and stuff.

I hope some one can help. I know it is a non standard installation, but hey, what the heck.
