Launching the session bus from a PAM module

Hi,

I developed a PAM module that launches the session bus during session 
startup and kills it at the end of the session. This is useful for other 
modules which need to access to PAM data (eg. the authtok) as well as a D-
Bus, one example of it being a module to automatically open a KWallet when 
logging into KDE.
Is there anything that should advise against using such a module?

The code is currently available at:

Regards,
Michael
