I think the whole problem is due to this:
10037      0.000075 mkdir("/home/richard/.dbus", 0700) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
10037      0.000061 mkdir("/home/richard/.dbus/session-bus", 0700) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
10037      0.000198 write(2, "Unable to create /home/richard/."..., 49) = 49
10037      0.000082 open("/home/richard/.dbus/session-bus/620e4e5789a46d4838ff0b004746dfa0-10", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

Arguably, it shouldn't have such a startup impact, but that would be a
problem with how dbus operates, imho.

Can you check the permissions in these directories, fix them, and see if
it works better? If so, we'll reassign to dbus.
