Ah, I will have a lookt at that as well.

One thing I can think about is activation, i.e. if now desktop has started and 
thus claimed the name for the integration daemon, DBus can start the generic 
implementation when the first application requests it.

Another thing is, that according to my current information, both KDE and GNOME 
will be using DBus as (one of) their internal IPC mechanism, so it will be 
installed, well tested and known to developers who might want to work on 
service implementations.

Cheers,
Kevin
