totem in devel is at 1.2.0 which works fine, rhythmbox 0.9 on the
other
hand breaks if you choose dbus instead of libbonobo (doesn't like dbus
0.35).

Maybe we can support only libbonobo until it compiles with dbus ? I think we can expect a patch or a new release soon...

Doesn't gnome-session take care of that? xfce starts a session dbus
automatically.

No it doesn't afaik. I just made the test, I didn't find any dbus --session process launched after gnome has launched... Or maybe I forgot something ?
