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."
