I get this on my desktop but not my laptop, yet I have been unable to
find the difference that accounts for it. In the end I gave up and
made
/usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper world-executable :(
Thanks, that fixed it. It looks as if a process switches its UID to a
non-root UID.
Perhaps the ebuild should be fixed to install sys-apps/dbus with these
permissions.
