Hi List!
A sentence "The address of the login session message bus is given in the
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable."  Written twice in
subsection  "Login session message bus":

> Each time a user logs in, a *login session message bus* may be started.
> All applications in the user's login session may interact with one another
> using this message bus.
>
> The address of the login session message bus is given in the
> DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable. If that variable is not
> set, applications may also try to read the address from the X Window System
> root window property _DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. The root window property
> must have type STRING. The environment variable should have precedence
> over the root window property.
>
> The address of the login session message bus is given in the
> DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable. If
> DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set, or if it's set to the string
> "autolaunch:", the system should use platform-specific methods of locating
> a running D-Bus session server, or starting one if a running instance
> cannot be found. Note that this mechanism is not recommended for attempting
> to determine if a daemon is running. It is inherently racy to attempt to
> make this determination, since the bus daemon may be started just before or
> just after the determination is made. Therefore, it is recommended that
> applications do not try to make this determination for their functionality
> purposes, and instead they should attempt to start the server.
