Sorry, again I have to correct here.
I know how dbus works, via system to a session, so you do not have to 
explain me that.

but I've got a sendnotify script (written in python, got it from one 
forum), I've attached it here.
It works only like:

sudo -H -u $userid DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:...... python <path to 
script>/sendnotify -i <some icon> "Device added." "Device Flash_Disk is 
added."

Now as you see, this script needs the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. And the 
question is , how to determine this when the userid (and display) is 
known. And I do not want to
do something like search in /proc/<pid>/environ, that's a silly sollution.
