Session bus not creating socket

Same thing here.

Looks ok, as long as you eval that stuff.
If you're using GDM, you can start the session bus automagically by
looking at bug 77504 [1]. Should be easy to "port" to other XDM's

Which is normal. There's no file descriptor for the session bus socket
(dont really know how to explain this, I'm no socket guru). Trust me,
it's normal the "file" doesnt exist ;)

Thats how it should be

No. Well, the "file" shouldn't exist.

dbus-monitor --session

If that command fails, your session bus is not created. But given the
information you sent, it should be working fine.
