This is with emacs from trunk, using the Lucid toolkit.

When doing:

ssh A_LOCAL_USER <at> localhost
emacs -Q

This error is shown:

(process:2012): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action.
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed to get connection to session: Abnormal program termination spawning command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=5ff056e06a6f310f5110670047532bd4 --binary-syntax --close-stderr': )


then emacs starts just fine, and I can see the "dbus-launch" process with that command line is running too.
Is emacs not waiting long enough for that dbus process to start, or is there
something else going on here?
