Cam,
Both a system-wide and per-session-local message bus needs to run. The
system-wide message-dbus, which is used for "system things" like
hot-plugging hardware devices, is started as root with the command
dbus-daemon --system
The per-session-local message bus, which is used as a means of
communications between user initiated applications, is started when
GARNOME is started. This is accomplished by running something like
dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
/usr/local/bin/garnome-session
where garnome-session is a shell script that sets up the GARNOME
environment variables and then execs the GARNOME version of
gnome-session [see the README].
Applications that use the per-session-local message bus look for
environment variables that tell them where to connect. dbus-launch does
what it required so that *all* child processes [starting with
garnome-session] can see those variables. See the man page for
additional details.
