Hi,

I have no particular use for it, but the build process of dbus-glib and
py-dbus seems to need it at some point because they call 
dbus-send --system, and without dbus-glib most of gnome won't build.

for dbus-glib it is something like the following:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/tmp/sysutils/dbus-glib/work.mini/dbus-glib-0.71/tools'
DBUS_TOP_BUILDDIR=.. dbus-send --system --print-reply=literal --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect > dbus-bus-introspect.xml.tmp && mv dbus-bus-introspect.xml.tmp dbus-bus-introspect.xml

Ciao,
Marco
