+## D-Bus Login Session Message Bus
+
+If OpenRC user services are activated for the current user,
+then it is possible to start (and supervise!) the D-Bus Login
+Session Message Bus via OpenRC.
+
+To do so run the following commands as the user:
+
+	$ rc-update add --user dbus
+	$ rc-service --user dbus start
+
+Further, we need to inform application using dbus where they
+can find the session bus. For this purpose, we need to set the
+DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable from your shell
+configuration file:
+
+	export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus"
+
+This value must be aligned with `/etc/user/conf.d/dbus` to ensure
+that this is the case, you can source that file from your shell.
