Details

Although dbus is started at boot time, user processes can't communicate beacause per-login-user-session isn't started.
To solve this, the following script should exist in /etc/profile.d/:

if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi

This exports two environment variables that will inform applications how to find message bus.
