You are right, LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is meant to be run by the current user, not root. And yes, the instructions look kind of wrong. launchctl load -w without sudo does not work because it requires write access to the file. But if -w is not used, the Disabled key will not be removed and it cannot be loaded automatically at system startup time... > The bottom line is that the startupitem code needs some love.
