dbus-1 won't quit

I'm running PCLOS 0.92 with two users plus root. The dbus-1 daemon should 
terminate itself when someone logs off and quits X, but it doesn't.  Right 
now, while I'm logged in as a user, there are 32 instances of dbus-1 daemon 
running simultaneously, from both users plus root. They date back to June 17, 
the last time I rebooted the computer. 

From my reading, it seems this is an old bug with dbus-1. The solution is to 
add "--exit-with-session" to the dbus-1 configuration. There are two 
configuration files, at /etc/dbus-1/system and /etc/dbus-1/session. These are 
XML files that caution against changing their configuration directly. They 
say to create a "session-local" configuration file, and put any instruction 
in that, but they don't say HOW.

I've googled a lot but can't find any detailed instructions for how to do 
this.

Is it correct to assume that the session-local file would also be 
in /etc/dbus-1 ? 
What _exactly_ would this file need to contain? 
Would it need to be another XML file, or a text file?  

Thanks for any help. And everybody, have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!
