Not sure if this is a dependency that is really required (I guess I could've tried connecting to a server after the exit, not sure if the dbus forwarder is required or just a nice feature), but I'm getting the following error:

2016-05-18 12:37:41,129 Warning: failed to load or register our dbus notifications forwarder:

... until I install dbus-x11. Just thought it worth a mention while you're messing with packaging.

Good catch. Not sure how you figured out that you needed dbus-x11 as it's really not obvious from the generic looking error messages.
r12609 fixes this and will be backported since the new automatic dbus-launch was included in 0.17: #1104.

I think I found the package with some deductive googling, once I had the name it installed very easily.

Just tried to confirm the fix, only to realize the rpm I'd installed was 12608...
