Probably off topic to this patch discussion, but whats chances, while you 
folks are kicking dbus's tires, of fixing the thing so that if the target 
doesn't exist, the message sent gets thrown under the buss instead of 
blocking, which then requires a kill of both processes, and a proper 
sequentially done restart (target started first) to make it work?

Cheers, Gene
