The kill command (with -KILL or any other signal) never returns until I
terminate emacs from task manager.  I then often see some error message
about "broken pipe" in the mintty that issued the kill, presumably from
a failed attempt to connect to a dbus session via pipes.

Will try later, I can't promise when I get to it.

Here's one other thing I forgot to mention: this emacs shows up in the
task pane with a generic icon, not as Emacs.

Turning the tables: what is dbus integration useful for in that build?
If it isn't something really compelling, then I'd think it should be
left out since this emacs will be most useful when no X session has been
started (and hence most likely no dbus either).  At least that is what I
am going to do.
