Not too sure of that, on OpenBSD I set this:

export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="no"

In ~/.xsession to avoid using dbus. My WM is cwm(1). Without dbus I am not missing anything (AFAIK), even when executing firefox. So wondering what dbus gives someone on OpenBSD.

Anyway, nice write-up.

Good point, thank you. I always assumed it was required for Firefox so have automatically enabled it!

I can't think of anything else it could be needed for other than various GTK-bloat IPC so I'll make a note in the article!

Thanks again,

Daniel
