How do you run 0.34 on a desktop and not break apps?-) I tought most
apps were still in the 0.2x API... Or did you mean 0.24?

I have script like this:

--8<--- dbus-terminals.sh

#!/bin/bash

export PATH=/opt/sandbox/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/sandbox/lib/pkgconfig
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=`dbus-daemon --session --print-address --fork`

xterm -fa monospace -fs 10 -bg white -fg black &
xterm -fa monospace -fs 10 -bg white -fg black &

---8>---

which I use to launch few xterms to my dev environment (prefix) to
which I have compiled developemental stuff to.

Seems to work ok, though `dbus-launch --sh-syntax` probably would be better.
