I'm assuming you upgraded from 2.6.24, correct? (not .25-rcX). Are you running either debian or ubuntu? If so, do you have the dbus-x11 package installed? Alternately, does /usr/bin/dbus-launch exist? If no, try installing dbus-x11 and try again. I think a side-effect of installing is to start dbus earlier, and may perhaps avoid the race (if it is a race that's causing all this, which I still think it is).
