Hi,

If dbus is not installed there will be continuous spam in the xorg log fil=
es, eg ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

[  3970.566] (EE) dbus-core: error connecting to system bus: org.freedeskt=
op.DBus.Error.FileNotFound (Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/syst=
em_bus_socket: No such file or directory)
[  3980.566] (EE) dbus-core: error connecting to system bus: org.freedeskt=
op.DBus.Error.FileNotFound (Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/syst=
em_bus_socket: No such file or directory)

Present on beowulf for me but might affect ascii too.

This setup has the dbus package removed, and I tried working around this w=
ith the configuration stanza "no-use-session-dbus" in /etc/X11/Xsession.op=
tions without any change.

This looks to be a known Debian issue with an open bug report [1] that was=
 apparently fixed but then reintroduced, and open since 2017 with no sensi=
ble workaround. It was reported to freedesktop.org [2] but got a simple "n=
o fix" reply because this is apparently a niche case. But I think that's u=
nlikely and that many Devuan users would have a similar setup so I'm filin=
g it here.
