That's interesting information, the dbus session daemon should finish
when sugar-session ends, and sugar-session should be terminated by the
lost X connection. The DS and the other DBus services like the PS,
telepathy-*, etc should terminate when the dbus daemon dies.

Would be good to have a ticket that entices someone to dig deeper and
see why things aren't like they are supposed to be.

Thanks,
