I didn't see any response to this and I don't immediately see why it
would be a bad idea.
Obviously it's slightly a bodge but these kind of issues involving
dbus-user-session seem common enough that it would probably be worth
doing this as a workaround, if it would be effective. (Which it seems
like it probably would be.)
Adam, have you tested this (on both systemd and sysvinit systems) ?
Thanks,
Ian.
