"Implement the API primarily as a D-BUS interface. The client library
should be a thin convenience layer over the D-BUS interface."
This is fine for desktop infrastructure (like ROX-Session, gnome-session,
etc), but what about applications? Programs like Gimp, ROX-Filer, etc,
can't assume there is a D-BUS daemon running to handle their
configuration.
(This isn't a problem for RedHat, of course, since you'll start a D-BUS
session on login for all desktops, but upstream authors can't assume
everyone will be using RedHat.)
