After the 'dbus-daemon' starts up & prints its address, you need
to use this address to set the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS env
variable, so in your example, try:

  $ dbus-daemon --session --print-address
  unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-T5BENDBwvM,guid=cba43a4343a9891b31f79f3a082cb800
  $ DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-T5BENDBwvM,guid=cba43a4343a9891b31f79f3a082cb800
  $ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
  $ dbus-monitor --session

To automatically start the session bus when you login to X, one might
have the following in $HOME/.xsession:

  #!/bin/sh

  DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=`/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --session --print-address --fork`
  export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

  exec gnome-session

Dan.
