I just wanted to add another comment after a night's sleep!
This bug has been reported in many other forums and it seems to me that people
are missing the point by focusing on making sure that dbus is running. But
actually it shouldn't matter whether dbus is running, and it shouldn't matter
whether DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set in the environment.
What other products (e.g. evince) do is run dbus-launch with the --autolaunch
option. This will search for an existing dbus and if it does not find one start
a new one.
emacs attempts to do the same but sometimes it does not work, and the message
suggests it is because SIGCHLD is being ignored. I am guessing that whether it
works depends on how busy the network and CPUs are.
