Actually it's libunique that wants dbus unconditionally if compiled with
dbus support.  It does have other backends, too, but no way to catch
this error or to set another backend at runtime.  It thus breaks related
applications when invoking libunique.

libunique must thus depend on both dbus and dbus-x11.  This is also
somewhat a clone of #497401.

Kind regards,
