Under gnome-session, with tracker disabled in rygel.conf, rygel streams without problems and, yes, various 
gvfs monitors are running (auto-started by gnome-session).

If I exit gnome-session and, without re-booting, start a non-dbus wm (flwm), rygel streams without problems 
without any gvfs monitors running.

If I reboot and start flwm with tracker disabled in rygel.conf, rygel shows up in gupnp-av-cp, but the 
folders do not contain any media files. If I then enable tracker in rygel.conf, rygel streams without 
problems.
