Looks like your D-bus install is pooched. The system bus that both
Thunar and Xfce-session are trying to connect to should be started by
a boot script.

That said at least on my system Thunar/xfdesktop can still open my
home and / without d-bus.

How did you install Thunar/Xfce? Distro packages, ports, from source?
