 FOUND IT! Solution is a little different:
 
 I tried your fix, but it only helped me with one of four testing machines I have, I searched for the difference and I found out the one machine which had success, had dbus turned off (however enabled in rc.conf) and so if DBUS started with the session, all worked well, however if it was up and about before the session, it would keep making timeouts of all kind. SO the following works with i386 and amd64 both on 6.5 and 7.0.
 
 - enable dbus in rc.conf
 - stop dbus
 - start session with:
 exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session xfce4-session/mate-session
 
 now there goes the question how to automatize it:
 - use sudo and add a line switching off dbus into .xinitrc
 - make a script that launches after rc.d and switches off dbus
 - anything more clever?
 
 Youri do you think you can make it up and merge it upstream somehow?
 cheers
