I have suffered myself services which offer some DBus calls only over the session bus, not the system bus, while my use case was exactly I needed to make those calls through the system bus for a variety of perfectly valid reasons. Had those services used a socket or pipe, which does not really care about session-available vs session-less, I wouldn't have had those problems. DBus definitely has its place but IMHO it's being used too much, everywhere, one could say it's fashionable. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer)
