Thinking about it, the default value hard-coded into libdbus cannot be changed. Changing it breaks the protocol. Why? Because not all bus peers on a system have to be using libdbus. There are other alternative implementations of the D-Bus protocol. In order for them to interoperate, they all have to agree on what the protocol is. This includes finding the addresses for connecting to the D-Bus daemon. Therefore, the default values hard-coded into libdbus have to be considered part of the D-Bus protocol. _______________________________________________ dbus mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dbus
