dbus has nothing to do with dns-lookups. In principle dbus is network-

support.
The magic it provides:
De-coupling functionality from the gui. And allowing several guis to represent
the same at the same time. And IPC in general.
- A couple of primitive D-Bus interface slots
have been introduced ...
Can somebody give a pointer to why D-Bus is desireable in
an
RT-envoronment? What is the magic we do not wan't to live without? I am asking this because I am experiencing that the
'Kit'-family is
doing nameserver lookups before allowing to open a window with my
current soundcard mixer levels.
Unless I missed a dbus-kit, one has nothing to do with another.
But I concur that the *kit crap is taking much to much space and time.
Someone should write drop-in packages that satisfy dependencies but don't run
the stuff.
