If dbus-launch crashes you lose your whole session so this is not the
same issue.  He is using 1.0.1-9.fc6.  The issue is a bit more subtle.
Basically dbus-launch looks like it is exiting correctly but not reaping
the bus itself.  Perhaps it is crashing before it can do that but we
don't notice because the session has already closed.
