Bad news: after pull from master and recompiling it crashes again.

Good news: crashes are not caused by dbusbind.c.

Usually, DBUS_DEBUG prints such lines:

  xd_read_message_1: Event received: ...
  xd_read_message_1: Event stored: ...
  xd_read_message_1: Event received: ...
  xd_read_message_1: Event stored: ...
  ...

But when such error is signaled:

  Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p "Click to close tab")
    dbus-handle-event((dbus-event :help "Click to close tab"))
    funcall-interactively(dbus-handle-event (dbus-event :help "Click to close tab"))
    call-interactively(dbus-handle-event nil [(dbus-event :help "Click to close tab")])
    command-execute(dbus-handle-event nil [(dbus-event :help "Click to close tab")] t)

there were no DBUS_DEBUG messages before this error comes.
So the erroneous events are not added by dbusbind.c.

Here's is a brief sequence of events:

1. In web browser copied a URL to the clipboard;
2. In Emacs this immediately causes a DBUS_EVENT event added to kbd_buffer:

Maybe making bootstrap after every pull from master will solve these problems?
