be not a valid concern, especially if we are leveraging the
DBUS in OLPC).

That's the idea, to use dbus as the IPC interface for most
stuff.  We
should be using it for anything that would otherwise use a
unix socket,
CORBA, DCOP, whatever, unless there's a really, really good
reason.
(like sound; obviously you're not going to write a WAV file
through
dbus).
