I like D-Bus because it can actually simplify the applications that rely on it and avoid reiventing the wheel. But I do agree that applications that *don't* need to communicate with other applications have no reason to be linked against it!
Is there any application that actually does that ?
Take gedit for example. It is a text editor, and: [23:44 TA|catwell] ldd $(which gedit) | grep dbus libdbus-glib-1.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2 (0x00007f5df48bb000) libdbus-1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 (0x00007f5df467c000) AFAIK it uses dbus only to communicate with itself (between its instances). There is no iteroperability problem, so D-Bus is not that useful to me. But then again, maybe I don't know how gedit works well enough to judge... -- catwell
