Solved mate-session issue with DBus?

I'm trying to get lightdm to start mate, but every time I log in I see two error boxes pop up, and then get kicked back to the login screen. More detail is given on the console:
Code:

I've got dbus & hald both running (though I'm not sure if the latter is necessary), procfs mounted on /proc in case that is needed, my username and lightdm are part of the 'video' group, and I even have MATE working on a different machine (with vastly different hardware) using SLiM instead of LightDM. However, I still can't figure out why these sockets aren't appearing in /tmp for this machine using LDM instead of SLiM.

Any ideas?
 
I should note that I've since removed lightdm, installed slim, and the issue persists. Things are fine (other than lacking the login screen) when I run startx. It's just whenever I try to log in via a graphical manager that the problem appears.

Edit: Nevermind, found the issue, and it's working now. DBus was compiled without X11. I must have fat-fingered it when trying to turn off the other two options.
