The build with dbus support still doesn't work.  An "Emacs abort"
dialogue box comes up during the build [which I've never seen before
when doing a Cygwin build] asking if I want to attach gdb.

That dialog is one sign that the native Windows GUI and window manager
are used for display and input.  It's what happens when Emacs aborts
itself or catches some other fatal signal.

Attaching a debugger, as instructed in the dialog, will allow you to
produce a backtrace that might show what went wrong.

I'm hoping that Daniel will be able to reproduce the problem and fix it.  If
not, I'll try to debug it when I return from my trip.

I haven't seen this problem, but that's likely because I'm not running a full
desktop environment in Cygwin. I'll try setting up a dbus server and see whether
I can reproduce the issue. I wonder whether the dbus code has ever worked on a
non-X11 system.

Emacs builds and starts fine for me even when dbus-daemon is running, with or
without X also running. Running dbus-monitor doesn't report anything happening.
A stack trace from your environment would be helpful.

OK. It will probably be a week or so before I can do this, but there's a slight chance I'll get to it sooner. Did you definitely build emacs with dbus support? You need to have libdbus1-devel installed in order for this to happen.
