You should be running your gnome-session through dbus-launch.  This
should happen automatically when gnome-session is run.  If you do not
have a dbus-daemon running similar to:

dbus-daemon --fork --print-address 22 --print-pid 24

Then nothing will work correctly.

That's because the process is not running.  You need to bind gdb to a
running instance of gnome-vfs-daemon.
