No problem!
Really, thanks for your help.

I think it only explains part of it.

Scenario A:
_ dbus is running on localhost;
_ I run Konsole and start Emacs from there;
_ I get the warning (but DBUS is running!!!);
_ after I exit Emacs, Konsole usually closes, but not always (!!!).

Scenario B:
_ dbus is running on localhost;
_ I run Konsole and SSH into another box;
_ on the remote box dbus is not running;
_ I run Emacs, get the warning and DBUS is started;
_ after I exit Emacs I cannot close Konsole unless I also close DBUS.


So your explanation fits the second scenario perfectly, but does not 
explain the first.
Also, I read I shouldn't run DBUS on the remote machine, but let Emacs 
connect to the one on localhost? Is this true? How do I do it?
Should I run DBUS from rc on every box?


  bye & Thanks
