Hi there!<BR>
<BR>
I am maintaining a system with thin-client terminals,<BR>
which are running X locally, and remote gnome sessions<BR>
on the server. (This works pretty good.)<BR>
<BR>
I would like to configure BlueZ on the clients, so<BR>
that they can use local Bluetooth devices.<BR>
<BR>
I can install the necessary software on the client<BR>
computers, but since the desktop application run<BR>
on the server (and thus they are connected to the D-Bus<BR>
of the server computer), and the BlueZ core is<BR>
connected to ths D-Bus System Bus on the client,<BR>
the messages won't go through.<BR>
<BR>
(Ie. for the PIN requests arriving to the client,<BR>
the passkey agen on the server can not be invoked<BR>
automatically, etc.)<BR>
<BR>
What is the best way to solve this?<BR>
<BR>
Should I try to configure a bridge between the two D-Buses?<BR>
(Does D-bus support this already?)<BR>
<BR>
Or should I try to run the relevant GUI applications locally on<BR>
the client, and integrate them into the desktop running remotely<BR>
on the server? (Does the gnome panel accept applets running on<BR>
different hosts than the desktop?)<BR>
<BR>
I have already in place the needed infrastructure for transferring<BR>
the actual content of Bluetooth services (obex, audio, etc.)<BR>
between the client and the server; the only part still missing is<BR>
the d-bus level.<BR>
<BR>
Can I make this work somehow?<BR>
<BR>
Thank you for your help:<BR>
<BR>
