+Subject: [PATCH 2/3] bus-util: Special case when DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is
+ set and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR isn't
+
+We noticed some failures because we have code that connects to user
+managers by setting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS without setting XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
+If that's the case, connect to the user session bus instead of the
+private manager bus as we can't connect to the latter if XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
+is not set.
