In GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.9)
Windowing system distributor `Red Hat, Inc.', version 11.0.11004000
configured using `configure '--prefix' '/local''
(It's CentOS 6.2.)
$ ssh -Y somehost
somehost$ emacs -Q --kill
somehost$ pstree `id -un`
dbus-daemon---{dbus-daemon}
dbus-launch
gconfd-2
sshd---bash---pstree
So several dbus processes are created and left behind afterwards, which
is inconvenient. I found
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-08/msg00940.html
which addresses a similar problem (where also dbus processes are created
after ssh + X).

If you analyze further, you'll see:
# ps -eaf | grep dbus-launch
albinus 4821 1 0 21:48 pts/3 00:00:00 dbus-launch --autolaunch 716f0514c3c408105bcdc5494b5c3d04 --binary-syntax --close-stderr
D-Bus is launched via the auto-launch feature of libdbus. This is
activated by default, if $DISPLAY is set. The invocation command as seen
above is hard-coded in dbus-sysdeps-unix.c, we cannot change it
ourselves.
It would be helpful, if the dbus-launch command would be called with the
--exit-with-session argument, but it isn't. I have no idea how to change
this behaviour.
Best regards, Michael.

Closing this bug, since it doesn't seem to be an Emacs issue.

It's an issue for Emacs since it means problems for Emacs users.
If there is no workaround for this problem I think "--without-gconf"
should be the default when compiling Emacs. Since font-use-system-font
is nil by default most users won't have use for the gconf support
anyway. (Or is it used for anything else?)

I don't know whether it is an Emacs issue. Most of the people would
install Emacs as bundled by their preferred GNU/Linux distribution. So
you would need to ask the distributor.
And a distributor could solve it even otherwise, for example providing a
libdbus-1.so compiled with "--enable-x11-autolaunch=no".
Btw, it isn't only Emacs which suffers from this problem. I have
replayed your initial scenario, starting "gedit" instead of "emacs -Q".
Same result.
Best regards, Michael.
