dbus = ugly?
Well, I've solved the problems that I mentioned in this thread, but I'm not quite satisfied with the solution, even if it is the "normal" one. You see, it seems that apps which use dbus need an extra instance running, besides the system messagebus... That's two instances of dbus-daemon running, and though they don't eat up all that much memory, this smells wrong to me. I thought libdbus was supposed to automatically handle messages that only passed between two applications? I dunno, something about this just doesn't seem right.

No, thats normal, theres the system bus and user bus. The idea is that gnome-session should start a user bus for you, but it doesnt yet

I guess the general assumption is that people who use gnome will use gdm, which is what starts the session bus

Re: dbus = ugly?
Huh. I wonder if KDE also requires a user bus running? Maybe that's what was going on with all the weird crap from ARTS and the embedded multimedia stuff...
(Then again, embedded MP3s played fine. :? )
