Actually, in RegisterAgent, the agent cannot (now) be a separate 
process, because the path name provided is a DBus Object Path only. What 
is used is the unique connection name of the process calling 
RegisterAgent.  Line 4143 of adapter.c:

    name = dbus_message_get_sender(msg);

One other point: if the Object Path is not found, no error is thrown. 
The syslog indicates that the agent was registered, although it will 
never work.

WRT CreatePairedAgent in the same process, fine enough.  I can 
understand the rationale.  Got it.

Best...
