dbus-daemon segfault w/ today's update

Don't know if this will fix it, but check the following:

/etc/dbus-1/system.conf
the user <user> line should look like this
<user>81</81>
Not root if that's what it says --  Last few days things have been 
pretty unstable in rawhide so I've been looking for the major gotcha's 
before taking crippling updates.

Plus the 81 is probably the same on everybody's system, but check your 
/etc/passwd for dbus.  Dbus runs under user dbus not root.
