It's very likely that those are the same, yes.

Rebooting won't be necessary, restarting the dbus service will. Although 
I think it should have been restarted upon installation, you may want to 
check the services running on your system. Gnome-system-tools contains a 
utility to view these. On my Mandriva system, the dbus service is called 
'messagebus' and I can restart it by entering 'service messagebus 
restart' on the command line, as root. It might work for you (but I'm 
not sure the commands on Fedora are the same).

regards,
