[Bug 894766] [NEW] DBus timeout stalling applications

[iMac]

Public bug reported:

Intermittently, I seem to have a situation where applications already
running are responsive, however DBus appears to be stalling, preventing
some new applications from loading and causing notification messages to
be "repeated" on my desktop.

I had Banshee song titltes and Evolution calendar reminders moving
through the notification bar, both which seemed to "repeat" at the same
time that I was unable to load shutter. On the console I received the
following message.  A minute later the shutter application loaded
without problems or console messages.

(shutter:3621): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Did
not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did
not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the
reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

I am opening this bug to see if others have this issue, and will try and
see if this is some sort of app congestion with dbus-monitor
