dbus-broker errors since updated to Gnome 50

The journal is full of these error messages after upgrading to Gnome 50.
Same happens on a clean install from scratch, again with Gnome 50.
It may just be noise as everything seems to be working but it's still annoying to have so many errors.

Any idea?

Is noise, no harm.

As Seth rightly pointed out earlier, it seems to be just noise since everything else appears to be working fine.
However, if the system log fills up with "noise" that shows up as critical errors, then what's the point of the journal itself as a source of information?
Rhetorical question, though...

Re: dbus-broker errors since updated to Gnome 50

Did you check which files cause the collision (for the color example, there's probably a pattern)?
