These messages are probably unrelated.

However it is very likely that D-Bus is not started correctly when you
run startx. You should check whether, at least, the session daemon is
correctly started.

In all cases this has nothing to do with gnome-session. (And no, I will
not upload gnome-session 2.24, it is completely broken.)
