Comment 6 for bug 1340604

Yeah, I seem to be getting stuck at
system_bus = g_bus_get_sync (G_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM, NULL, &err);
    if (err) {
        log_msg ("Could not connect to the system bus: %s\n", err->message);
        g_error_free (err);
        return FALSE;
    }
I was thinking about retrying it just that part, but it may be safer to retry the whole thing. I'd like to get feedback from Evan or Brian since they are more familiar with this code about whether there's a better way to go about this.
