DBus has an odd dependency (IMHO) on X11, and it uses X11 to figure out what the current running dbus session is. If you run 'dbus-launch --auto-syntax', it should output some export statements. If you run those in your shell and then run your dbus aware application, it should be able to connect to that bus. Though, I have no clue why make menuconfig on the kernel would trigger anything even close to dbus related, but perhaps the above info is helpful to you since it took me a while to track it down. It appears there aren't a ton of people running dbus in a sans-X11 environment... --Chris
