Thanks for the info.
Weird, that sounds like dbus-monitor was built with a different version than dbus-daemon. The symptoms you describe 
indicate that dbus-monitor doesn't recognize the running daemon, which is normally a built-in mechanism.
I suppose you don't have any other dbus builds in your path, or previous installations, and that you didn't modify the 
file etc/session.conf  ?

Otherwise it sounds like a problem related to the options passed (or not) when building dbus. Can you provide us with 
the following :

- which source version you used (1.4.x ?)
- what build tool you used : cmake or automake
- which command line options you passed it

Thanks,
Romain
