If I didn't miss anything, this "Connection Error" is printed only when
dbus_bus_get() fails. So, something goes wrong when connecting to the
session bus. Is it running?

I don't know what the exact problem is here, but is the session bus
really the bus that you'll want to use anyway? If you're going to use
the receiver's session bus as the shared bus, I'm pretty sure you'll
need to do some configuration changes to allow other processes from
other containers to connect to it. Maybe it would be better to start a
dedicated bus for this inter-container communication?
