Thanks.  What makes me wonder is the long time emacs is waiting
for dbus.  This doesn't make sense in terms of exception handling.
It sounds a bit as if it's *really* waiting for some reason and
the question is, what exactly is it waiting for (socket timeout?)
and why didn't it wait before?

That would be incredibly helpful.  There is a chance that the old
exception handling didn't work as expected and therefore covered
something under the hood.

Nah, never mind.  I'm just frustrated, is all.
