dbus-daemon is definitely running.

This is not the main error. I think the main error is that it cannot
find the help file??

I'll double check whether dbus is running when the gsd error occurs.
It is running at present when I get the help problem. If I don't reply
then dbus-daemon is running for the other issue as well.
