For all of you who have responded constructively, suggesting that I go elsewhere, or in some cases, realizing I made a mistake and answering a few questions about DBUS, thank you. I have done a little work on Gnome. Most of it was a few years ago and led to different patches (better than mine) being integrated. (mostly in libraries). I do not follow the development like I once did. I am thinking in terms of Desktop OS, not just the desktop. And this is the development mailing list for my favorite distribution. Based on these facts, I find it interesting that you get comments like the ones below. "Why are you posting here...." I may have been STUPID and put HAL instead of DBUS (severe lack of sleep does that, especially to me). Since this is an implementation issue and not some global freedesktop.org issue, at least in my mind, I posted here. If eventually it has to go to freedesktop great, but it should probably be taken by people who are smarter and more up to date than I. Again thank you for those who were reasonably polite, tried to see through my mistake and provided great insights. And again, please accept my apologies for my screw up.
