Yes, both libdbus and GDBus (in gio) will spawn a new bus with dbus-
launch if it can't connect to a session bus (ie, if
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is unset).

I've just been bitten by this in Ubuntu with IPC xpcshell tests hanging
our builds. I did some investigation of this today and found that the
hangs were caused by plugin-container failing to start because it
couldn't get an X connection - because of the bazillion or so dbus-
launch processes (and associated buses!!) that had been spawned during
the previous tests had used up all of the allowable X server connections
:(

To work around this, we'll probably run all of the tests inside dbus-
launch so that they have a bus already (eg, dbus-launch --exit-with-
session)

Title:
  Needs to get accessibility settings from GSettings

Bug description:
  Luke mentioned to me in Dublin that the screen reader doesn't work
  with Firefox when accessibility is enabled. This is because Firefox is
  still using GConf to check if accessibility is enabled, when it really
  needs to be using GSettings. I've just realized this is still the
  case, so I assume that the screen reader still won't work by default
