Public bug reported:
My screen-based emacs's DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable
got superceded, and though emacs was fine and could open frames in the
new session, it was very naughty about opening, saving, and closing
files/buffers because the dbus-call-method in zeitgeist.el was failing.
This patch reduces the annoyance a bit:
