That depends on what you mean by "gracefully".
D-Bus is not network-transparent. Each machine will behave as if it were
isolated from the rest. Any remote X windows will behave as if they were being
displayed on the local machine's display. Those processes will not talk to
other processes running on different machines over D-Bus -- though they may
still see each other via X.

Question is not relevant.
