I re-checked, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is *not* set (echo prints
nothing). I guess this was a misunderstanding, sorry about that. What I
did was run ``dbus-launch'' as, according to the manpage

 With no arguments, dbus-launch will simply print the values of
 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID.

This is why I said the two variables are set, but they aren't.

Not really, I logged in a couple of times since the initial report.

I don't have an executable named dbus-monitor on my system. Please note
I'm not running the unstable version but testing's 0.62-4...

André
