Normally, I do the eval `dbus-launch` in .bash_profile. Because I was sourcing a script in a terminal for testing, exporting all env variables is required. Numbnuts here was not exporting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID. I was exporting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, but not PID. Interestingly, even with that exported, gnome-session still indicates that gnome-settings-daemon fails with exit code 1 and cannot load it. I can load it manually though. Why this occurs I do not know. Luckily, I can load it during the launch of enlightenment which is my primary wm, and all apps appear to run fine. This inability to launch gnome-settings-daemon did NOT occur in 2.16.0 however. Maybe a "new feature" was introduced! :) Sorry to be such a bother. I will try and drop by IRC.
