 Currently the dbus port doesn't set up a way for the session bus daemon to
 run on login. While X11 apps can use the dbus autolaunch functionality,
 applications that are compiled without X11 support cannot use dbus without
 a session bus already running.

 There are some comments at bug #16755 that are relevant.

 There are three ways to set up the session-daemon: by manually starting it
 with the app you want to run; via a startup script (eg .profile); or via
 launchd.

 Using launchd would be preferable, as that would mean only one session-bus
 instance per login.
