Given that "crap notifier items" are the status quo which nobody had bothered to do anything to (e.g. improve) for years (even after I first noted their flaws to the people involved ~6 years ago), it's not a regression. At the very least we've improved the (in practice overwhelmingly) common case signficantly. The reality, however, is that what you point out won't affect only notifier items, but all communication done over DBus. It's a more general problem that will only be addressed by making it easy (as in "transparent") to route DBus over the same network that the X session is on. -- Aaron J.
