OK, it looks like loading dbus.el is where it fails when following
the instructions given in this URL:

    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-08/msg00892.html

I guess this step is not necessary but emacs shouldn't hang.

Here's the steps I followed:

$ eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax`
$ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unix:path=/tmp/dbus-dlr0QTU52y,guid=2ed2e65c8040f348d71319f94cc36ca0
$ xterm &  # This gives me a new xterm with "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
set.

In new xterm:

$ dbus-monitor
signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.0 serial=2 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired
   string ":1.0"
method call sender=:1.0 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=3 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch
   string "type='method_call'"
method call sender=:1.0 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=4 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch
   string "type='method_return'"
method call sender=:1.0 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus serial=5 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch
   string "type='error'"

In first xterm:
$ emacs &

In that emacs:
(dbus-get-unique-name :session)
":1.0"

load-file /usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/net/dbus.el.gz

Hangs emacs after the "done" message...
