Apparently you just didn't start the D-Bus session daemon properly. Please refer to the D-Bus documentation how to do that. (Hint "man dbus-launch")

[gone404]

Also check to see that avahi-daemon is running. I wasn't receiving any dbus errors, but I was getting:
** (padevchooser:30279): WARNING **: pa_browser_new() failed.
until I started the avahi-daemon service.

Also, be aware that it is an system tray applet, so if you have multiple screens, nothing will happen unless you start it on the display with the system tray application you are using.

Also please note that padevchooser is deprecated and and we do not recommend anyone use it (this has been our stance for the last couple years). It messes up client connection settings and generally causes issues that are sometimes hard to debug.
