Thanks for reporting. I tested this days before and it worked. Be sure that you install the GUI support in pengwin-setup :

pengwin-setup autoinstall GUI GUILIB

Close Pengwin and try again. I will paste here all the steps since a new Pengwin installation.

Probably you are facing the issue that you reported in other thread about zsh. I will try to reproduce it with zsh

[maple3142]

I am pretty sure that I had already installed it.

pengwin-setup autoinstall GUI GUILIB

Unholding pengwin-base & pengwin-setup

Another way to fix it is sudo apt reinstall dbus

[crramirez]

Now it is working after you reinstalled dbus?

[maple3142]

Yes, reinstalling dbus seems to fix /usr/share/dbus-1/session.conf
