This is exactly what dbus-launch does

If given a command it starts a dbus session and takes care of
$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS so that child processes can use dbus. As an
example, here's my dbus-launch from Debian GDM which runs startkde:

marcus         5298  0.0  0.0   2760   496 ?        S    Jul06   0:00
/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/startkde

kind regards, Marcus

PS: that's my amateur understanding of it. If someone knows it better,
please enlighten us! ;)
