I will stand in defense of dbus. It and its

available for me to take action in kmail appriximately .25 seconds after
procmail has closed the file. Losing dbus would multiply the needed
mouse clicks by 2 or more, and add me as a variable delay to its
visibility in kmail.
My comment was a bit of a raising flag for brain food.
I don't think anyone would manage to get rid of dbus unless there is a
better alternative - and so far we have not seen one. But this is my
personal opinion. This mostly affects the desktop side, but as shown in
bluetooth there are a lot of application utilizing dbus already.
