I've committed a patch to the Emacs-23 branch which ought to handle this situation: 2010-10-08 Michael Albinus<michael.albi...@gmx.de> * dbusbind.c (xd_get_dispatch_status): Return a Lisp_Object. (xd_pending_messages): Catch xd_get_dispatch_status calls. I don't know, whether this has reached already in Cygwin's Emacs package. However, if you are using D-Bus you shall ensure that both the system and session buses are running.
That patch has not yet been applied to the Cygwin build. I'm inclined to let it wait for Emacs 23.3, unless I need to issue a new release of Emacs for some other reason. The workaround (making sure that the system bus is running) is easy enough.
