Are you suggesting the (system) DBus daemon should change the maximum socket 
buffer size?? That seems ugly to me. I don't need to mention that it will 
apply not just to DBus sockets, but to all Unix sockets, and in fact all 
sockets in all families.

It's also buggy as you have no way to atomically "set sysctl value to X if and 
only if current value is less than X".
