Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

This is exactly what I see when I use startx, and it is expected.
Gnome-panel is trying to talk to GDM during this time.  Since GDM is not
running, you get this failure.  If you want to get rid of this, you'll
need to start GNOME with GDM.
