It shouldn't be related to the problems with X server, described in the another mail-thread. X server itself (thankfully) doesn't need the D-Bus to configure the hardware, screens, etc to display the graphics on the display. Since you are using fluxbox, then (possibly) the amount of programs, which are really need the D-Bus messaging bus to operate - are relatively small on your system. It may be necessary for notifications (e.g. dunst receiving the notifications to display via D-Bus) or for multimedia keys working (e.g. the playerctl program uses D-Bus to send play/pause/stop signals to the players in the system). The Emacs may use D-Bus to display notifications via notifications.el or to receive aforementioned play/pause/stop signals, used by emms-mpris.el plugin. But all of these features aren't enabled by the default. -- Eugene Andrienko
