 It turns out this option(s) fail because:
 
   7710   7710 dbus-launch GIO   fd 2 wrote 94 bytes
        "No terminal on standard input and no X display; cannot attach message \
         bus to session lifetime\n"
 
 
 ... and the "No terminal on standard input" is expected in this setup.
 But not being able to connect to the X server clearly is not.
 
 The code is in  dbus-1.14.0/tools/dbus-launch.c:kill_bus_when_session_ends
 and has this:
 
 #ifdef DBUS_BUILD_X11
   x11_init();
   if (xdisplay != NULL)
     {
       x_fd = ConnectionNumber (xdisplay);
     }
   else
     x_fd = -1;
 #else
   x_fd = -1;
 #endif
 
 
 and it seems that DBUS_BUILD_X11 is not defined when compiling this.
 
 I think the configure script is buggy, does everyone else use the cmake
 build instead? Haven't traced this lossage during configure, but it also
 fails to properly obey --enable-verbose-mode=yes (which would have helped
 during debugging).
