What program starts dbus-daemon?

What program starts the per user session dbus-daemon process in GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 (presumably via dbus-launch)? I would like to know because I would like to add a directory to the list of directories that dbus-daemon checks for .service files.

(Obviously if it's a sh program, "sh" isn't the answer I'm looking for ;-)

How could I have answered this question for myself efficiently? What documentation is there on desktop and session startup?

The login manager starts dbus via the Xsession scripts directory. If the use-session-dbus option is set for the Xsession, then the dbus Xsession script is loaded, and it runs dbus-launch --exit-with-session $session_command.
