I will review it later today.
But yeah, dbus-launch.c is very, very confusing. You can easily get lost
in the forks and pipes. You lose track of which file descriptors are open
in which processes. There's also a bizarre ordering of which processes
are parent of which...
In any case, I do agree that dbus-launch should be simplified. It should
always save the bus information to file and to X11 (if possible), so that
autolaunch is also possible. And it shouldn't start a new bus if that
information is available.
That will make overriding a bit difficult (i.e., intentionally launching a
second bus daemon).
