What I'm about to say doesn't answer your question, but it might make 
the question irrelevant for you.  I've decided that I'm not going to try 
to support GSettings and GConf in emacs-24.3.  The D-BUS issues are just 
causing too much trouble, and it all results from an emacs bug that has 
been fixed for emacs-24.4.  So I'll save the GSettings and GConf support 
for emacs-24.4.

I expect to make a new test release in a few days that no longer 
requires a D-BUS session daemon.
