[avahi] client-browse-services.c fails: "Unexpected DBUS error occured"

[Nicholas Andrews]

Trent,

The --system dbus is indeed running. Looking at proc/<pid>/fd, I see 0
through 12 files (named 0->12) but a "ls -l" shows that they either
point to /dev/null or to a socket:[XXXX]. How should I fix this?

Thanks for the help! :)
