I found you could set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable, but it gives an
error:

$ sudo DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS gnome-terminal
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: The connection is closed

For the record, I want to integrate apps running in remote machines and
LXC containers into Unity. Obviously they share the same issue are
trying to integrate sudoed apps, namely the apps using session bus
specific to the remote machine or container. As such, I'm trying to
mount my local bus session to the container and telling the apps to use
it.
