Issues while using DBUS over TCP

[Schmottlach, Glenn]

Sure . . . sounds like a good idea. I hope others will contribute their
experiences as well. I've seen that the LiMO distro (targeting the
embedded cell phone market) uses DBUS as the foundation for their IPC
mechanism and they've also (apparently) added a simpler event service on
top of DBUS. So, obviously, people are using DBUS in the embedded space
. . . I'm just not sure how many are using TCP to communicate (via DBUS)
to their target platforms.

I just created a wiki page on the freedesktop wiki: 

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/HowtoTCPDBus

There's of course nothing there but some placeholder text, but Glenn,
with your permission, we could put the text of your e-mail (and Simon's
suggestions) there as a start?  It was remarkably easy to create the
account on the freedesktop wiki, I encourage people to give it a try.
