But do we need the string representation when we have a 2-way association
between the windows sid and a unique integer?

When we have such a mapping we could implement getuid() in kdewin32 and
dbus must not care about it.


We have to implement getuid() anyway, because currently it looks like this:

/* Get the real user ID of the calling process.  */
KDEWIN32_EXPORT uid_t getuid()
{
  return 1; /* NOT A ROOT! */
}
