    D-Bus should never be considered an IPC mechanism - you have no idea what you're communicating with. You just fling something out there, and hope that something that's listening for that kind of thing is going to act in the way that you want. However, you will only grow to truly hate it when you see two tasks play dbus ping-pong, grinding your mobile phone to a halt. That's not quite true, I think I learnt to hate it when it became clear that it was using Omega(N) algorithms to send a message that could only come from one task on the system to a uniquely defined other task on the system, and N was the number of other stupid tasks that wanted to play the dbus game. Designed by a fucktard, clearly. OK, they eventually fixed that, but it never should have been designed to be so freaking stupid in the first place.
