In the mail from Simon McVittie <s...@debian.org> he states that the bug #633652 is fixed and closed by the new version of the package dbus_1.4.12-5_amd64.deb and its friends.
I immediately upgraded both a Debian unstable and a Debian testing. Both systems got a new version of dbus: root@sally:/home/bob# dpkg -l | grep dbus ii dbus 1.4.12-5 simple interprocess messaging system (daemon and utilities) ii dbus-x11 1.4.12-5 simple interprocess messaging system (X11 deps) ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.12-5 simple interprocess messaging system (library) ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.94-4 simple interprocess messaging system (GLib-based shared library) ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.7.3-5 Qt 4 D-Bus module then I tested from an xterm su-ed to root. I tested with: xterm, xclock, iceweasel and emacs. The xterm and xclock worked but both iceweasel and emacs failed with the same error as reported originally by jida...@jidanni.org: GLib-GIO:ERROR:/tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.28.6/./gio/gdbusconnection.c: 2279:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL) Fatal error (6)Aborted -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
