cool. nedko, not intending to rehash the dbus carnage of yore, but:
for a headless system without a user logged in via some graphical
desktop, what is needed to be able to run LADI?

i for one would be interested in having a rudimentary start script that
gets all the $FOOkits and dbus-$GIZMOs in place so that LADIsh can work.
even if few people will use it on headless systems, it would be very
instructive and show how different system services work together.

best,
