I agree, this should be the target. But I've made it configurable for
two reasons:
- The integration touches sensible parts of Emacs, like event
handling. I didn't want to stall everybody due to a possible
error. It works stable in my local environment, but before enabling
it wherever D-Bus exist, there should be kind of feedback from other
people.
- I've tested it only for GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 7.04/7.10, to be precise).
I have no idea how it works on other platforms, like Mac OS X or
Win32. For example, the D-Bus API offers Win32 specific functions
I'll never be able to test. See dbus_connection_get_unix_user vs
dbus_connection_get_windows_user in the API.
So I propose to wait at least some weeks (until the end of this
year?), whether there are serious drawbacks. If not, we could remove
the configuration option "with-dbus".
Best regards, Michael.
