This happened a lot to me as well. The reason is that with an unclean 
shutdown (but no power cycle) some stuff, especially the data store, 
will keep running, but be inaccesible to the new session. So DBus starts 
a new data store process which can't lock the index...
It will only happen if you do an unclean restart of X; a reboot / power 
cycle isn't a problem.
