DBus is simply an IPC mechanism, the USE flag only enables the software
to talk to other software. What each piece of software does with that
ability is as varied as the software that uses it. Any such list would be
long, incomplete and almost certainly out of date and not relevant to the
USE flag anyway.

What you're asking is a bit like asking for a complete list of the
abilities the python USE flag adds, when all you can really say is it
allows the software to run Python scripts, not what those scripts may do.
