I was getting this error on Ubuntu 17.10 on a Mac Pro 2,1 and was also having problems with soft lockups associated with errors saying "CPU#x was stuck for 22s" (where x was the CPU number). When I removed gnome- screensaver, both issues stopped. However, when I reinstalled gnome- screensaver, the bug here (CRITICAL: Unable to create a DBus proxy for GnomeScreensaver) started happening again but the CPU lockups did not.
