Don't have to time to think about and reply to the whole mail until 
later, but a quick note, dbus does *not* currently handle starting of 
services on the system bus. Right now the system bus daemon is running 
as a special "messagebus" user and anything it spawned would just be 
useless because it would have no permissions. It's an open question 
whether dbus should be able to spawn services on the system bus as it 
does on the session bus (this question is why you were suddenly copied 
on the thread).
