 Yes, you need to edit the new user's `~/.profile` to
 [http://guide.macports.org/#installing.shell.postflight set their PATH to
 include MacPorts].

 The command you're running forces a load each time.  What you want to run
 is `launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist`

 From `man launchctl` you'll see that:
  1. -w removes the disabled key and write the configuration files back out
 to disk.
  1. -F forces the loading of the plist. Ignore the Disabled key.
