For some hours a lot of programms crashes (evince, evolution, firefox, gnome-panel ...) with dbus errors. After reboot I can't login via gdm. In .xsession-errors I find: ...

I'm also having this problem. Downgrading did not fix it. Consolekit and NetworkManager init scripts also crash with dbus assertion errors.
I also reemerged dbus, consolekit, seahorse, openssh and gnome-session without improving the login-situation.

It seems me that this problem has the same reason as Bug 297483. At least reemerging dbus-glib solved the problem for me. But now a second small problem remained: While I could not login into gnome-session I tested several desktops kde, xfce and windowmager e16, openbox, .... Now I am logged in a gnome-session, but I have e16 as windowmanager and I can't find no menu entry under system to change the window manager. The only I found is to change the gconf entry desktop->gnome->session->required_component->windowmanager with gconfeditor. Is there an other way?
Looks like a scenario with glib upgraded, and dbus-glib not rebuilt. The other issue is for Gnome maintainers, changing window managers in Gnome is not a freedesktop-bugs.
This is then a dupe of bug 297483 About the second problem, I would suggest you to open a different bug report (-> one bug report per problem, otherwise it's a bit messy) but, in this case, easier WM handling is really an upstream problem, then, you should probably search for opened bugs about this directly in upstream (bugzilla.gnome.org) and, if no one opened, open a new one. Also, remember that exporting WINDOW_MANAGER variable to desired window manager should also work for changing between them (see man gnome-wm) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 297483 ***
I did not think, tha the second problem is a bug. I supposed, that I am simply not clever enough to find the proper configuration menu.
So what's the topic of this bug now ?
The topic was the dbus error, which can be removed by reemerging dbus-glib. It would be good, if the necessity to reemerge dbus-glib could be detected automatically by revdep-rebuild or someway else.
And that's the topic of bug #297483. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 297483 ***
