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 Any such list would be long, incomplete and almost certainly out of date and not relevant to the USE flag anyway.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. --=20 Neil Bothwick Sleep is an excellent way of listening to an opera. - James Stephens (1882-1950) --Sig_/hp7Vr3xtPAjVwXwQx.6OMp2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEARECAAYFAlgsIfQACgkQum4al0N1GQNbBwCfS7DhbbBjdUmiE70eU0o6oLIy ZQoAniIHFsiMJhkDrbRT/wR7K/oYuu8C =MDvG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/hp7Vr3xtPAjVwXwQx.6OMp2--
