I launch some apps from inside a network namespace in order to force them to
communicate through my VPN interface only.
But they fail to use DBus then. Some examples of what goes wrong:
1. Chromium cannot launch system proxy settings dialog.
2. Most apps from KDE SC crash right away.
3. No app can use ibus input methods.
I'm not very familiar with DBus, is there a way to heal this setup?

Have you tried exporting DBUS_SESION_ADDRESS within the namespace?

I tried it now.
The name is DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.
Still no luck:
$ ktorrent
unnamed app(19646): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server:
"Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-CM8HloGVTk: Connection refused"
unnamed app(19645): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.
