The moment it does, you won't be able to. With hindsight, I think it never connected. The libdbus initialisation routines just want to have definitions for all 3 bus address types even if the client is only going to be connecting to one of them. That must be what happened here: setting the LAUNCHD_xxxx session bus env. variable provided the only bit of required but ultimately unused information the absence of which stood in the way of successful initialisation.
