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.
