@mia @q66 imo autostart on an arbitrary api call shouldn't be a thing, instead it should just fail with a clear error
DEs already bundle daemons on startup, WM people already start e.g. pipewire on their own, use those mechanisms for dbus end points too

@navi @q66 @mia I wish it would be just the autostart thing, which would probably be a simple patch. But dbus being used for all kinds of IPC including sensitive and security-critical stuff (like polkit belongs in hell) is what made me throw it all away, like launch dbus-monitor and see all the stuff going through it. Another one that's probably still there is if dbus crashes/get-killed, everything connected to it also crashes and so far all the desktop environments I've tried this in fails to recover.
