No, it works really good :)  But I have found some weirdness.  When I
log in from a tty, and then run startxfce4, I don't have
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID that is exported.  In this situation I can't run
xfmedia with xfmedia-remote --play.  I need to run xfmedia a first time,
and then if I close xfmedia, xfmedia-remote --play runs xfmedia and
plays.

But, maybe you are right.  The version I have, 1.0.2, does this with the
following command:

    % dbus-launch --sh-syntax
    DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS='unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-nuVGqj4jHa,guid=c8a8047860cc76a13fc1890045f97fa9';
    export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS;
    DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=4203;

As you can see, there is no export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID.  Here I attach
another patch (corrected even).
