I think it is fair enough to get some bindings test done. I would love
to help you, but I am just using libdbus for my testing and don't need
any bindings. I had no problems so far.

My "rush" to get the 1.4 release out is that I prefer that we have a
wide testing audience for it. And the only way we get this is, if we get
it into the distros. The fd-passing patches were rotting here for a
while now and lets face it, only a few hardcore developers will actually
replace their dbus-daemon with a developer version. So at some point we
just have to go for it and release it.
