You're right. I was too impatient yesterday. What I thought was the
familiar freeze turns out to be just a delay of several seconds after
pressing a key before I see a response. But emacs is still not usable
that way. So I think the bottom line is that, at least under Cygwin,
users should make sure the system bus is running before loading dbus.el.
As a practical matter, I would think most D-BUS users would just have
the messagebus service started automatically, so that this wouldn't be
an issue; that's what happens by default once you run
/usr/bin/messagebus-config.
