For the record, I disagree with you. As does a lot of other
maintainers of current desktop infrastructure, daemons and libraries.
Because we've tried it and it just doesn't work. I guess we're just
being honest about it with this new D-Bus user bus.

Anyway, all that is unimportant. Because, here's the thing: If you
really want to create your own desktop environment supporting multiple
simultaneous graphical logins, then, hey, feel free to do so - no-one
is stopping you or taking anything away from you. But if you expect
GNOME or KDE or whatever [1] to support this, then, hey, talk to those
projects - don't complain on a list for an IPC library and message bus
system.
