I was trying muine-shell as root, that's what caused the connection to 
be NULL, when I run it as a user the connection is different from NULL 
but muine-shell still doesn't work.
these are my DBUS variables:
export | grep -i dbus
declare -x DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-dIPjG8U0h3"
declare -x DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID="6207"

I am using muine version 0.6.3, is it too old? It's the the latest one 
in portage (using gentoo) and updating to the version of the site would 
imply upgrading a whole lot of dependencies...
