Hmm... that won't be sufficient. Also probably not necessary - I don't
think module-dbus-protocol accesses the session bus at all. I noticed
now that the thing that is failing is not module-dbus-protocol but the
server lookup thingy, which is part of main().

The fix in this case is either fixing the server discovery logic, ie.
getting rid of the server lookup thingy in main() and replacing it with
a better solution, or just changing the error handling so that if
setting up the server lookup service fails, it won't bring down the
whole daemon.
