Hi,

I bet this is more of an upstream issue, but is relevant to the .xinitrc in the wiki. Running dbus-launch --exit-with-session emacs will block emacs' dbus communication.

I ran into this issue trying to use tramp, which calls gvfs by dbus, and it failed to start gvfs. dbus-monitor also can't connect to running bus.

I fixed this by omitting the --exit-with-session option, and dbus communication work again.

Consider changing the .xinitrc so to not include the option? Unless there would be unwanted side effects. But a warning or workaround is a good idea.
