Did the X transport for DBUS ever get written? It seems that we'd always
want it enabled for the session bus, so the server could use just that
(without needing a babysitter).

BTW, running configure with no arguments results in:

$ dbus-launch 
Failed to start message bus: Failed to read directory
"/usr/local/etc/dbus-1/NONE/lib/dbus-1.0/services": No such file or
directory

Also, the man page suggests:
	eval `dbus-launch --exit-with-session`

but that command never returns (not closing stdout?)
