I've just explained it in my mail to Andy. As it was discussed some
time ago with GLib developers, we introduced two new bus
types called "user" (G_BUS_TYPE_USER) and "machine"
(G_BUS_TYPE_MACHINE). At this moment, these are only available on GLib
devel branch, so I should replace G_BUS_TYPE_USER with
G_BUS_TYPE_SESSION before I posted my benchmark apps - sorry for that.
