Not true. obexd, rygel, gnome-user-share are certainly bound to the
machine, as is PA.

Also, stuff like software that manages file system mounts is per
machine, too. (hmm, how is .gvs actually managed if you log in from
two machines?)

Sure. If it's just the name...

It might make name to call it DBUS_SYSTEM_FOR_USER or so, since it the
bus is very much like the system bus, except that its unpriviliged
processes that are running on it.
