</HEAD><BODY>Hello,
<p> </p>
<p>After strugging for a while, we've noticed that dbus connection doesn't seem
to work with fork() system call.</p>
<p>The connection is copied but there is no API to properly close the connection
so the new connection can be made.</p>
<p>Although I was able to force reinitialization when dbus_get_bus is called,
I think the problem is more than adding a new API for reinitialization.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. There hasn't been any consideration on the forked processes (with
no exec()) , unique/well known name handling, etc.</p>
<p>2. glib and other bindings should deal with the additional fork-related APIs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any thoughts? Pointers?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p> </p>
