Dbus errors are keeping you from starting X? Do you mean it's keeping your 
X environment from being usable and coming up fully to GNOME or that it's 
somehow crashing or interfering with X? Xorg under NetBSD doesn't require 
dbus (thank goodness).

Perhaps try stubing the file with a empty file or link to /dev/null ?

Sorry, and nothing personal, but I kind of doubt you'll see much in the 
way of help on that. GNOME[2] isn't the most appealing hairball for folks 
to put energy into. Personally, I see dbus as the armpit of GNOME.  My 
impression is that most NetBSD users use a lighter weight environment then 
just pick-and-choose from GNOME and KDE. Ie.. for example I run Fluxbox 
but I (very) occasionally use KDE's Amarok or GNOME's Evolution. However, 
like a lot of NetBSD users, I spend 90% of my time in regular xterm or 
just on the console. I realize those are style-issues, but still somewhat 
germane.
