you still don't understand it. BlueZ is _not_ using any X functionality
in its daemons. We never have and we never will be. Period. However we
use D-Bus as general communication method and that is a hard dependency
now and it won't change in the future. So if you wanna use something
that doesn't use D-Bus then stick to the 2.x releases. There was a
reason why we changed the major version number.

Regards

Marcel
