Better: emacs is the only program, that I know...

I don't want to start it from emacs. It has already been started from
somewhere at the start of the X-session. The "address=autolaunch"
permits emacs to find the dbus-daemon.
From the dbus-launch man page:
"If DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set for a process that tries to
use D-Bus, by default the process will attempt to invoke dbus-launch
with the --autolaunch option to start up a new session bus or find
the existing bus address on the X display or in a file in
~/.dbus/session-bus/"
It seems, that emacs does this only, if DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set
to "autolaunch:", but not if it is unset. And (setenv ...) does not
work, it must be set from outside emacs.
