It does.

I think it is time that the session dbus daemon cannot be disabled, at
least when running a GNOME session.

A simple way to do that would be the following:

--- 75dbus_dbus-launch	2006-06-28 20:09:16.000000000 +0200
+++ /tmp/75dbus_dbus-launch	2009-03-25 00:04:32.153708156 +0100
@@ -6,7 +6,7 @@
 STARTDBUS=
 DBUSLAUNCH=/usr/bin/dbus-launch
 
-if grep -qs ^use-session-dbus "$OPTIONFILE"; then
+if grep -qs ^use-session-dbus "$OPTIONFILE" || [ -n "$GNOMERC" ]; then
   if [ -x "$DBUSLAUNCH" ]; then
     STARTDBUS=yes
   fi

Maybe you’d also want to do the same for other session managers, but I
guess that’s up to them.

Cheers,
