HAL makes use of the *system* bus, not the *session* busses. The idea
is to store the bus address of the session bus in the root
window. Right now a DBUS session is mostly tied to an X11 session
anyway, so it would make a lot of sense to make this explicit.

The DBUS client libs would need to look if $DISPLAY is set. If it is
they should look for the BUS address on the root window of that
display.
