 I've been having a problem that looked very much like #17950; the core
 symptom was:

 {{{
 Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a
 socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!

 (process:15731): GConf-CRITICAL **: Could not connect to session bus: Not
 enough memory
 }}}

 Reading through #17950, I got the sense that I wasn't connecting to gconf
 and was able to confirm this using gconf-editor, first running it as my
 normal user, then as root. The former gave the same errors as above; the
 latter ran fine and gave me access to the gconf database. I further
 confirmed this by running `launchctl getenv
 DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET` as my normal user (which provided no
 response) and as root (which provided the proper value).

 Here's what I did to get gconf and dbus working:
  1. `sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist`
  1. `sudo chown my_user:staff /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist`
  1. `launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist`

 After that, all works well. This is in line with the observation in
 comment:ticket:17950:86 which advises against "sudo launchctl load -w
 /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist".
