Ah!
after eval `dbus-launch --exit-with-session`

bash-3.1$ set |grep ^D
DBUS_LAUNCH='/opt/gnome/2.16.1/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session'
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-noA7livpDS,guid=99012545bd80d2b86877310386fbf600

these are the only dbus variables set. That explains the problem.

I just checked on a non-slack distro, and it's the same. Thanks for the
follow up!
