I've never experianced this issue with DevStack / DBus on any F17
or F18 system I've used. I guess it could be something peculiar to
your particular devstack config - what is in your 'localrc' ?

I successfully run devstack on F18/F17 using the following, on a
regular basis

$ cd $HOME/cloud/devstack
$ cat localrc
DEST=$HOME/src/cloud
DATA_DIR=$DEST/data

LOGFILE=$DATA_DIR/logs/stack.log
SCREEN_LOGDIR=$DATA_DIR/logs
VERBOSE=False

disable_service rabbit
enable_service qpid
disable_service tempest

# If i want to test spice instead of VNC
#enable_service n-spice
#disable_service n-novnc
#disable_service n-xvnc

# If I want to test quantum instead of nova-network
#Q_PLUGIN=linuxbridge
#Q_PLUGIN=openvswitch
#disable_service n-net
#enable_service q-svc
#enable_service q-agt
#enable_service q-dhcp
#enable_service q-l3
#enable_service q-meta
#enable_service quantum

NB, this results in everything being checked out under $HOME/cloud/XXXXX
and not /opt, because I don't like polluting /opt, and puts all devstack
logs in $HOME/cloud/data/logs
