Agreed.

On debian, dbus-1-utils installs a xsession startup script
that checks for use-session-dbus in /etc/X11/Xsession.options
Therefore dbus daemon knows the $DISPLAY.

Johan:  When  2 xservers are running on vt7 as :0 and vt8 as :1
respectively.   Do the 2 dbus daemons know which one is active?
(i.e. crt or lcd currently displays :0 or :1)  Would be nice to
get the pin helper window on :1 if one is working there instead
of on :0 ;)

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
