Comment (by J. Ali Harlow <ali@…>):

 Replying to [comment:3 danielk]:
 > J. Ali Harlow, this appears to be an issue with dbus. 1/ Is dbus
 installed? 2/ can you toggle whether it is installed and report back if
 that resolves the deadlock.

 yes, dbus-1.2.24-5.el6_1.x86_64 is installed. I can't uninstall it (just
 about every gnome package requires it). I tried killing the session daemon
 to see if I could do this temporarily to test but this just causes gnome
 to log me out (and then for gdm to get very confused).

 > PS In the future when we ask for a backtrace in mythtv land we really
 mean a "thread apply all bt" but in this case I don't think that is
 necessary.

 Okay. Let me know if this would be useful and if rebuilding dbus-libs to
 get the debug symbols would be helpful.

 Do we know what myth is doing to initiate the communication with dbus? I
 searched the source of mythbackend and the libs but didn't find it
 mentioned anywhere. (Wondering if I can disable it from there and achieve
 the same effect.)
