https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=118291 ------- Comment #17 from eich@novell.com 2007-05-14 02:55 MST ------- Originally dbus has not been desinged for network tranparency like X. Therefore X clients that also require some dbus communication simply cannot be used accross the network. dbux communication has nothing to do with X communicatin therefore it cannot be trivially added. It may be pssible to tunnel it thru X - but this is another area of exploration and not just a bug to fix. Appearantly (according to above links) work is under way to implement network transparent dbus communication however instead of implementing a tcp transport for dbus - following the present trend in X - it should be investigated if it's pssible to forward dbus thru ssh and treat it similarly to X11 forwarding thru the same mechansim. This would of course not address the case where X apps are run accross a network using the tcp transport mechansim - which is however disabled im most case today anyhow. - but this is totally out of the realm of X at present. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
