However, I'm not sure about that, it might be loaded everytime it is needed, in which case changing it on /data/etc would work for the current session until reboot.
You are right... but I am fairly confident that /system/etc/ is on a read only file system, and thus it is impossible to make persistent changes to it. So... I'm not entirely clear on what's going on.

In other news, latest rootfs does not squash the boot loop problem. Looking into it now.

Edit: BUUUUUT... manually fixing the permissions on dbus.conf DOES squash the bootloop problem... even if you do it in the middle of the boot loop over adb. so, fix the command in the rootfs, and it should be done.
