Meld fails to start; complains about launchd not providing socket path

# A startup item has been generated that will aid in
# starting dbus with launchd. It is disabled
# by default. Execute the following command to start it,
# and to cause it to launch at startup:
#
# sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.dbus.plist
