This still happens. It's definitely a new dbus process (not least
because when I logout from my ssh session, it hangs waiting for these
dbus processes to be killed).

This is a RHEL5 system. I have an X session running. This is started as:

ssh-agent execs dbus-launch
dbus-launch execs ~/.xsession
(this seems to create a dbus-daemon process as well)

If I just do

emacs -Q -l dbus

in my X session, no new dbus processes are started.

But if I do:

ssh my-local-host
emacs -Q -l dbus

then two new dbus processes are started:

dbus-launch --autolaunch STRING --binary-syntax --close-stderr
dbus-daemon -fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session

These persist after Emacs exits, and I have to kill them before I can
logout of my ssh connection.
