Not directly with DBus but the script I've used for starting XVfb in
headless test suites is this one:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dbusmenu-team/libdbusmenu/trunk.14.10/view/head:/tests/run-xvfb.sh

For newer stuff we've started using the Xorg dummy driver, specifically
with Google Test:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/test/xorg-gtest/

It seems the dummy driver works with less hacks like that script. My
understanding is that it works with more features of X as well, but
that's not something I've needed.
