DBus has many guises, there is a peer-to-peer mode, and the bus mode. Usually, (modern distro), there are two buses running, a system bus for notifications about hardware events etc.., system control. There is then the session bus, which is the one user apps usually attach and communicate via. If you're missing a session bus, xgsch2pcb won't work (It ought not to care too much about the system bus). Try "dbus-launch /path/to/xgsch2pcb" That will fire up a bus for that app, and it should work for apps launched from within xgsch2pcb.
