Hello Roberto,

After a quick search for org.xfce.RunDialog I've found this one:
http://mirror.gezeiten.org/lunar/modules/xfce4-goodies-svn/verve-plugin-svn/DEPENDS

If I understand that file correctly, it seems that you need to
--disable-dbus to enable the aforementioned org.xfce.RunDialog service.

HTH.
ciao,
