Try uninstalling a a11y related software, disable the accessibility use
flag... at-spi2 launches its own dbus - it should go away if you
disable a11y features. Opera triggers starting these through dbus, and
they will try to bind to Gnome or KDE sessions.

I have these, too, in my systems because some packages unconditionally
pull in a11y features although I disabled all related useflags.
