Comment 14 for bug 328575

Brian - libdbus does offer such an interface: dbus_bus_get_private. But again we really don't want apps trying to work around this.

I'll try to cook up a patch this weekend to have libdbus put the uid in DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and ignore it on mismatch.

Did you guys consider patching pfexec?

We should keep in mind the big picture too about how the desktop should work and interact with things like pfexec/su. As I mentioned, Fedora is driving towards a more PolicyKit-type setup for most things; I think it would make sense for OpenSolaris to push for a similar architecture if not PolicyKit itself.
