I love you Mike :).
Thank you so much for spending time and efforts on this, YMMD.
With the above change it works like a charm.

I guess for production use, the patch could be optimised to adjust the
dbus-launch check starting at line 105 so that it checks for
dbus-launch but don't start it already, only remembers the result and
then insert it into the ck-l-s command below.
If I find time, I might add a patch for this.

Regards,
Enrico
