Hi Marco,

I will check.  However I am on Windows 7-64 and to the best of my knowledge
Dbus is not available for this platform.  There were some efforts to make
it work but I don't think they are current.
In any case, as the error message said, this version of emacs isn't
compiled with Dbus, which makes sense for a Windows version.
I will try to create my own handler and figure out why dbus notification is
being attempted on a version of Emacs compiled without it.

Best,

Ian
