I wouldn't go relying on DISPLAY -- in fact, you don't need it at all (well, 
I haven't got it).

AIUI, it would only be used to query your X session for the dbus session 
address... I don't know about you, but I don't run X on my servers.

The _only_ env var I've needed to set to use session buses is 
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.
