The only reason I tried without a 'graphical' X11 environment, is
because I tried firstly to debug the crash-on-startup on a remote shell
box, under xvfb instead of a real X server since there wasn't one set up.

What I found is that it exits silently, in different places, depending
whether a DBus session is running.  It doesn't got far enough to execute
any shell command given by the "-e" option.

Robert Millan already bisected this to a large DBus-related commit.
