Hi,
I'm looking at my system and I'm surprised to find dbus running, since I put
-dbus -hal in my /etc/make.conf.

dbus
I didn't configure it to start, so something started it. I'm running XFCE4 so
I suspect it started it, since it's running as me and not root.
So lets see who needs it.
msoul...@anton:~$ equery belongs /usr/bin/dbus-daemon

That's odd. Nothing needs it? Then who started it?
It's daemonized so I don't see a parent process beyond init.

Since it appears you have equery installed you can do:
equery depends sys-apps/dbus-glib
That should list all the packages requiring dbus.
