I already did this in the old threads you were involved in. As I said
then and now, it is not intended to work with dbus-daemon. It should
work with libdbus, but dbus-daemon does not use this libdbus feature.
I consider it an open question whether it *should* work with
dbus-daemon. I don't really know what people are trying to do, where
they want it to work, so I can't even begin to think about what is
'right' really.
