Additional: if $MY_PATH has the potential to contain whitespace it gets a little more tricky. After some mucking around I did find this solution in bash using arrays:

Code:
$ MY_PATH=/tmp/jc\ dole
$ mkdir -p "$MY_PATH"/{test,.local/share/{kscreen,ballo},.dbus}/{test{1,2},.direct{A,B,C},.Xauthority,.xsession1,.bash_history}
$ F1=( -path "$MY_PATH"/.local/share/kscreen -o -path "$MY_PATH"/.local/share/ballo -o -path "$MY_PATH"/.dbus )
$ set -f
$ F2=(! -name .direct*  ! -name .Xauthority  ! -name .xsession*  ! -name .bash_history)
$ OLDIFS=$IFS
$ IFS=
$ find "$MY_PATH"  -type d \( ${F1[*]} \)  -prune -o \( ${F2[*]} -print \)
/tmp/jc dole
/tmp/jc dole/.local
/tmp/jc dole/.local/share
/tmp/jc dole/test
/tmp/jc dole/test/test1
/tmp/jc dole/test/test2
$ IFS=$OLDIFS
$ set +f

Note: set -f is required to stop glob expansion of wildcards within the F2 array as we want to pass the wildcards onto find

dbus-cleanup-sockets(1) 				      General Commands Manual					   dbus-cleanup-sockets(1)

NAME

       dbus-cleanup-sockets - clean up leftover sockets in a directory

SYNOPSIS

       dbus-cleanup-sockets [DIRECTORY]

DESCRIPTION

       The dbus-cleanup-sockets command cleans up unused D-Bus connection sockets. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more informa-
       tion about the big picture.

       If given no arguments, dbus-cleanup-sockets cleans up sockets in the standard default socket directory for the per-user-login-session  mes-
       sage bus; this is usually /tmp.	Optionally, you can pass a different directory on the command line.

       On  Linux, this program is essentially useless, because D-Bus defaults to using "abstract sockets" that exist only in memory and don't have
       a corresponding file in /tmp.

       On most other flavors of UNIX, it's possible for the socket files to leak when programs using D-Bus  exit  abnormally  or  without  closing
       their  D-Bus connections. Thus, it might be interesting to run dbus-cleanup-sockets in a cron job to mop up any leaked sockets.	Or you can
       just ignore the leaked sockets, they aren't really hurting anything, other than cluttering the output of "ls /tmp"
