Don't worry this message is (mostly) harmless. Virt-manager will optionally
register a DBus service which lets the VM Applet controls some of its UI
functions. If it can't talk to DBus, virt-manager will simply not register
this service, everything else will carry on as normal. I'm removing this
scary logging error message from next release to avoid worrying people
unneccessarily.

Dan.
