The system-image test suite has its own non-root testing service built around
dbus-launch.  It handles lots of the tricky corners around libdbus (e.g. the
environment variables are only read once per process).  That might be a
fruitful place to look.  It's not as self-contained as python-dbusmock though
and is probably not compatible with Python 2.
