If you analyze further, you'll see:

# ps -eaf | grep dbus-launch
albinus    4821     1  0 21:48 pts/3    00:00:00 dbus-launch --autolaunch 716f0514c3c408105bcdc5494b5c3d04 --binary-syntax --close-stderr

D-Bus is launched via the auto-launch feature of libdbus. This is
activated by default, if $DISPLAY is set. The invocation command as seen
above is hard-coded in dbus-sysdeps-unix.c, we cannot change it
ourselves.

It would be helpful, if the dbus-launch command would be called with the
--exit-with-session argument, but it isn't. I have no idea how to change
this behaviour.

Best regards, Michael.
