 Used by D-Bus when Emacs is compiled with it.  Usually, there is no

 @samp{unix:path=/dev/null}, suppresses connections to the D-Bus session
 bus as well as autolaunching the D-Bus session bus if not running yet.

 @env{TMPDIR} first.  If that is unset, Emacs normally falls back on
 @file{/tmp}, but on MS-Windows and MS-DOS it instead falls back on
 @env{TMP}, then @env{TEMP}, and finally @file{c:/temp}.

 does not use @env{TZ} at all.
