D-Bus causes a problem during upgrades when the configuration file
has changed

Upgrading D-Bus may cause the current bus to quit and take down your X
session. This is an issue when moving from any previous release to
version 1.0.x which introduces the <standard_session_servicedirs /> tag.
Since the current running bus does not understand this when it tries to
reload it exits and brings down the X session. I'm guessing the best
way to handle this is to not exit on reload. Right now fedora is just
not exiting ever since we ran into this bug and I think Debian had this
patch in for awhile now. In any case there has to be a better way to
handle this issue.
