I suspect it only happens when the system is busy. If dbus is running and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set then I believe emacs works OK. If DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set then emacs invokes dbus-launch but does not reliably read its exit status. Here are some messages with dbus-launch verbosity enabled: $ export DBUS_VERBOSE=1 $ emacs (emacs:11682): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action. 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: Abnormal program termination when spawning command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=b8b7eef26650346e3ef6a596486b954a --binary-syntax --close-stderr': 11685: Autolaunch enabled (using X11).\n11685: --exit-with-session automatically enabled\n11685: Connected to X11 display ':1047.0'\n11685: dbus-daemon is already running.
