Description (last modified by pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)) 

$ port notes dbus
dbus has the following notes:
 ############################################################################
  # Startup items have been generated that will aid in
  # starting dbus with launchd. They are disabled
  # by default. Execute the following command to start them,
  # and to cause them to launch at startup:
  #
  # sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
  # launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
  ############################################################################

It remains to be be explained somewhere, *how* an automatic launch of these commands should/can be caused at startup.

Research launchctl, launchd and launchd plists for an understanding of how they function.
