I am not a dbus developer. All I have are linux boxes. At least 
boxes where i do any meaningful work except for my gamebox 
which runs windows xp where i play Splinter Cell. And I dont do 
anything on it but play games. It does not even have an office 
suite.

Im not the GNUstep architect too. Nor do I dictate GNUstep 
policy. I just want to apply GNUstep to a particular problem. 
What I do is in no way going to limit GNUstep to linux boxes.

As to security in dbus and derivatives I have no definite 
solution. All I have right now are questions.
