The latter solution is wrong. The Xsession.d scripts _prepends_ things to
STARTUP. Thus having seahorse before dbus is the right solution. If you check
your seahorse-agents environment you'll see that it does actually has the dbus
environment variables.

The former is a bad workaround for programs that use dbus (and especially dbus
activation) in the wrong way.
