If DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is unset, then $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus should be used.

This is currently a de-facto standard done by most libraries, but is being amended into the spec itself.

Additionally, the current fallback uses dbus-launch. This is not a good idea, since it will create a dedicated bus for this application which can't be discovered by any other application.

Use the default fallback path for the session bus
32346aa 
This is currently a de-facto standard done by most libraries, and is
being amended into the spec itself[1].

The previous behaviour (starting a new D-Bus server via dbus-launch) is
generally discouraged, since it will start a D-Bus at a non-standard
location and other processes have no mechanism via which they can locate
the bus socket.
