Hi,

For current situation, see:

http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/api/html/group__DBusBus.html#ga5

http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-bus-names


I'm not really convinced that the current set of behaviors is right, or
that the defaults are right.

Which flags are people using and for which use-cases? Ideally we can get
a lot of followups describing different ways to use D-BUS names and the
flags people are wanting for them.

It feels to me like the policy for name behavior is in the wrong place,
since it ends up being hardcoded in both client and server; feels like
the .service file would make more sense.

Possibly something to fix for 1.0.

Havoc
