>+ DBusConnection* bus = dbus_bus_get(DBUS_BUS_SESSION, &error);

dbus_bus_get() will sometimes call
dbus_connection_set_exit_on_disconnect(TRUE), so that needs to be undone with
another dbus_connection_set_exit_on_disconnect().

>+ reply = dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block(bus, message, 1000, &error);

We are actively trying to shorten the start-up path to reduce start-up time.
Blocking on DBus during creation of the first window wouldn't be helpful.

Is it feasible to initialize on receipt of an async reply?

Or I expect it would be possible to create a DBusPendingCall on window
creation, and then only block on it and steal_reply when it is really needed?

I thought GNOME 3 distros were at least providing a read-only GConf wrapper.
