dbus is a messaging bus that allows processes on the desktop communicate between each other. It is used in a lot of the new GNOME programs for interprocess communication: for a while, Beagle (the desktop search engine) used DBUS to pass messages between various parts of the program. As a server-only Linux user, I unfortunately can't help you with why its happening.
