It shouldn't be related to the problems with X server, described in the
another mail-thread. X server itself (thankfully) doesn't need the D-Bus
to configure the hardware, screens, etc to display the graphics on the
display.

Since you are using fluxbox, then (possibly) the amount of programs,
which are really need the D-Bus messaging bus to operate - are
relatively small on your system. It may be necessary for notifications
(e.g. dunst receiving the notifications to display via D-Bus) or for
multimedia keys working (e.g. the playerctl program uses D-Bus to send
play/pause/stop signals to the players in the system).

The Emacs may use D-Bus to display notifications via notifications.el or
to receive aforementioned play/pause/stop signals, used by emms-mpris.el
plugin. But all of these features aren't enabled by the default.
