I am experiencing the same issue. I have the latest KDE/natty installs, and I believe this 100% CPU saturation was triggered, when I was moving between folders in Thunderbird 3.10, thunderbird had hung. Yup, sure enough I just killed thunderbird, and dbus-daemon is no longer at 100% CPU utilization. After starting thunderbird the dbus-daemon process goes back to 100% CPU utilization. I have tried this 3 times, and the starting/running of thunderbird is clearly related to the 100 CPU utilization of the dbus-daemon process. I'm going to reboot the system now, and I will update this bug report when the system comes back up.
