Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2019 09:25:46 +0000

Thank you for looking into the problem! Your fix indeed prevents the
crash. Unfortunately there seems to be an issue with dbus sessions. For
exmaple, notmuch-search from notmuch.el or
fcitx--prefix-keys-polling-function error out with

  (dbus-error "No connection to bus" :session)

when loading a pdumped session.

Would you like me to prepare a minimal reproducible example? Should I
open a new bug? Above report is based on the emacs config at
https://github.com/leezu/dotfiles/tree/master/emacs which uses
spacemacs.

Best regards
Leonard
