Yes, I read that already and it really isn't complete enough for what I 
need.  I presume than that there isn't more detailed configuration 
documentation available.

So, I have some specific questions.

1.  Is it also possible to add (for example):

   <servicedir>/usr/gnome-2/share/dbus-1/system-services</servicedir>

to: "/etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf" to point to additional: 
"system-services" folders?

2.  How do I deal with having: "session.d" & "system.d" folders multiple 
locations.  The configuration files have:

     <includedir>session.d</includedir>

and:

     <includedir>system.d</includedir>

which do not have a full path.  Can I add more to the: "s*-local.conf" 
files using a full path?  Or is it possible to have multiple instances 
of these folders?

I am, by default, the maintainer of the KDE-4.x build instructions and I 
need to write definitive instructions for how to configure D-Bus for 
KDE-4.x.7.

Your assistance with this will help many users.
