tmux

The error I get is this:

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. 
See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. 
(Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Error connecting: Connection refused)
Failed to open bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-BYC0LHrEHk: Connection refused

Any suggestions?
