Okay, I was confused about the Xsession.d scripts.  I thought 
x-session-manager would run them (as gnome-session seems to), but I 
guess it is the other way around -- they are meant to run 
x-session-manager.  If I run /etc/X11/Xsession instead of 
x-session-manager, then dbus-launch starts before x-session-manager 
(instead of after) and passes the environment variables to it.
