in most cases you need it for some other applications, too. So it is
there anyway. For the Nokia Tablets and OpenMoko it seems good enough.

We use the dbus-glib only in bluez-gnome. The bluez-utils depends on
glib and dbus. And that is different.

You don't get it. The dbus-glib bindings are an integration of dbus into
the GObject model (libgobject). We don't use that. Yes, we use glib, but
not gobject and yes, we use dbus (low-level libdbus).
