Activation of services on system bus

I'm having trouble getting some services to auto-activate on the
system bus. Is there anything needed other than to:

* stash a bus-config file in /etc/dbus-1/system.d, granting
permissions for the bus name to be grabbed by the right user, and

* install a .services file in /usr/share/dbus-1/services ?

As things stand now, I execute the client program, and it prints out the usual:

  $ ./client ...
  The name org.foinse_project.geoclue.master was not provided by any
.service files

My installation is a completely vanilla D-Bus 1.0.1. I'm comfortable
with the resulting service process running as root, so I'm not worried
about whether the system-bus-activation-using-helper-process issue was
ever ironed out.
