Is there any good reason that dbus might not be available on a target
distribution/system?  If not, I would say to just make dbus a tdebase
dependency and remove the if statements from around the dbus checks.  If
there is a good reason for dbus to be missing, then we will need to add
another flag to build without dbus support and also add the requisite
#ifdefs to the tdm consolekit code.

Thoughts?
