Hey,

I've been fairly busy lately so didnt closely follow this thread and its
too long now for me to understand what exactly the problems are.

If I followed correctly, it seems like the biggest problem currently is
transitioning to/from dbus? can you show the "ps auxfZ | grep dbus"
lines?

How exactly are you running into problems? Can you post a very minimal
command that triggers the problems? Is there some hello world I can put
in /usr/share/dbus-1/services and a command to trigger the issue?

A lot of these other problems in this patch seem to be issues with dbus
so lets fix that first then the other ones will be easier.
