>Imo it would be better to disabled the colord support in these two
packages for now, so that these can be built and tested.
Just not possible. The g-s-d and g-c-c maintainers are not willing to
make the colord support conditional, although I suppose you could
manually hack out the building from configure.ac and a couple of
Makefile.am's.

>Kees, what about applying the two patches suggested by Richard?

I can just release a new tarball upstream when Kees is happy with the
changes.

>Does the --enable-fd-fallback patch mean that files are not opened by
colord (i.e. they must be opened by the user first)?

Well, they are still opened by colord (the fd) but the session will have
to have parsed the file before the fd is passed. You can never prevent
DoSing the daemon, as there's no effective rate or capacity limiting of
the messages by the DBus daemon.

I'll work on a user-group patch, although it'll need to be fixed/audited
by someone who knows what they are doing, .i.e. not me.
