That's not because of Emacs and its D-Bus integration. Linked GTK try to
connect to at-spi (Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface).

Check your Gnome configuration how to disable it. I suspect you must
disable /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-dbus, but I don't know it for
sure. You might check your settings with 

# gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/at-spi-dbus
