I'm aware ... nevertheless then emacs-gtk does write out a warning that there
is no dbus and this will not be written with syslog.  This was one reason for
me to add this wrapper code to the /usr/bin/emacs shell script.  The other side
effect is to allow emacs to communicate over dbus, a feature which is useful
even over ssh or console login.
