Emacs will *try* to autolaunch a D-Bus session if it doesn't find one, but this feature is broken in the emacs-24 branch (and the problem is not Cygwin-specific). This is Emacs bug #8855. It's been fixed in the trunk, but the fix is complicated and probably won't be backported to the emacs-24 branch. I didn't want to complicate the release announcement by giving all this information; I thought it would be enough to say, "... you should have a D-Bus session daemon running before starting emacs under X11."
