dbus has nothing to do with dns-lookups. In principle dbus is network-

transparent. But in practice only with complicated authentication (that onl=

y=20

works on the same computer) or with a special patch to allow anonymous=20

connections. So the default mode of the servers don't activate network=20

support.
The magic it provides:

De-coupling functionality from the gui. And allowing several guis to repres=

ent=20

the same at the same time. And IPC in general.

Someone should write drop-in packages that satisfy dependencies but don't r=

un=20

the stuff.
