to remove the LaunchDaemon created by macports (provided this works for
everybody) but I'll leave this alone for now.

> No, since they are for different busses. The startup item created by the
Portfile starts up the system bus. This one is unique for the whole system
and has one known address. The other one, the session bus, is unique per
session, meaning every user got his own bus. Launchd is used to manage
this address like X11 does on other Linux/*NIX

discussed). This alleviates any problems for those who already have this
working (although the changes to how dbus-daemon is launched may cause
problems initially).

only to store the session bus address. Having both doesn't make sense and
my break something. I would really prefer to drop it completely or at
least, disable launchd when using x11. But the Portfile you've checked in
seems odd to me.
Alrighty. Away it goes. See r45210.
