author here - would love advice or tips on how to get dbus running so settings work well and other WMs work like Gnome.

Nice work. A few days ago I tried xfce4 with little luck, although xfce4-terminal + Xming get me pretty much everything I need. Windows ConHost.exe is a pretty poor terminal (specifically in terms of fonts and colors) but hopefully things will get better in time.

Regarding Dbus, I haven't had time to try this out yet: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/4ea4w4/fyi_you_c...

hey thanks! I'll give this a shot, might make GNOME start up now.
