And this is yet another example how initscripts are broken.
I had a friend whose GDM was not coming up because it
was starting too fast after dbus. As a last resort we rearranged
the DAEMONS and moved gdm as the last daemon (after NM etc)
and it magically started to work.

With systemd you could start gdm as fast as you want and systemd would
make sure its dependencies are met, either by starting them first, or buffering
the socket/dbus calls.
