Yeah, it is meant to be on the system bus, because it needs to
communicate from a process running as root to a process running as the
user. The package does install the config for that, but doesn't re-start
the dbus daemon for it to take effect. A simple /etc/init.d/dbus-1
restart should solve it.
That was meant to be in my next upload, but I am having problems
updating the package to the new API in python2.4-dbus. Sadly that API
seems to be a brick wall which "just doesn't work".
