Thanks, that works.  Also, I found (and should have looked
more thoroughly before posting):

  http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_quote

which gives this:

  env `dbus-launch` sh -c 'trap "kill $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID" EXIT; gnucash --add-price-quotes /path/to/file.gnucash'

which also works (and I presume shuts down dbus afterwards?)
