The main issue isn't whether D-Bus clients can connect to buses on a

different host.  The main issue is whether D-Bus clients connected to

one bus can send messages to objects on a different bus.
I was actually labouring under the impression that D-Bus as-is could

cope with connecting to remote hosts because it uses sockets.  That this

isn't the case is, in fact *another* problem with D-Bus.
D-Bus clients can't send messages to objects on remote buses.  As-is,

they can't even connect to buses on remote hosts.  Shocking.
