What's the preferred approach for gdm? A few months back, I raised a bug
on gdm asking them to modify their Xsession file to invoke
dbus-launcher, the same way it currently handles ssh-agent. Despite
having a patch provided, they rejected this on the grounds that starting
a dbus session was something distros were responsible for, and which gdm
didn't want to deal with.
In any case, my current approach is to create the following script which
gdm will invoke from the existing Xsession.
# /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/dbus-launch
if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
## if not found, launch a new one
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
echo "D-BUS per-session daemon address is: " \
$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
fi
