Your obviously correct in this, we should care about our users :). But before
switching to this style i'd like to take some time to find out what exactly
breaks when gnome-session _doesn't_ start dbus. So we can raise our concerns
nicely with upstream and tell them what to fix :)
The upstream bug reports the gnome-keyring socket env var as one
of the reasons, but currently gnome-keyring supports socket discovering magic
though dbus.. So that should be fine.
The other thing is that the SESSION_MANAGER env var isn't set. And there seems
to be an issue with system sounds through esd (although it's unclear if it's
related).
