Catch error when DBus connection fails
connectSession throws a ClientError Exception when DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is unset. Without exception handler this will result in program termination. Since the DBus handler merely sends a signal to the event loop it does no harm when it won't run. Normal operation will continue just if compiled without dbus support.
