If we try DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS before we launch the external
program, then in the typical case (where the bus was launched by the
session init scripts) we wouldn't have to launch it on each app startup
- we'd only launch the external program in the unusual case of someone
running on old Linux/UNIX installs. Even then, if someone cared about
the startup time they could add the daemon launch to their own .xinitrc
or .Xclients or whatever in the old install.
