Hi
It's not that general, for some things (like notification items)
are more tied to the DISPLAY, while others (e.g. controlling 
your media player, accessing some PIM server, talking to 
Telepathy) are usually connected with the SESSION. I might want
to run an app on a remote display while still talking to 
services in the local session (a Telepathy-based IM client 
is the most obvious example). So what we definitely need is 
two buses --- a session bus _and_ a display bus. Because these 
are two independent scopes.
