Right.  Now the fact that a lot of people want the functionality to
broadcast notifications to the logged in session makes me think we
should probably add it to the system.  But that's not a topic for this
list.

Most likely the existing session bus rejected authentication because
the root uid is not equal to the desktop user's uid.
