That bug really doesn't look like it would be solved by kdbus, I don't
see a ton of messages being sent as the issue, do you?  It seems like
something is timing out and then continuing on with the application
startup.

But, you can try it out, grab the kernel patch, enable it in systemd,
and try it for yourself and let us know!

thanks,
