I don't prefer 'd' suffix, because it's too short. I'm thinking that is
bad habit of UNIX. Therefore, I prefer uim-mbus-server or
uim-mbus-daemon. In addition, I don't want to user the word 'server'
for this message bus, because message-bus-daemon itself doesn't serve
any information, it only transfers messages. So we should use
uim-mbus-daemon.
