Nothing should break. With dbus, you register to provide a well known name and other processes look for connections which have the well known name. As long as the names are different, the calling process will not know whether they are provided by the same process or different processes. In this case however, the question was about showing dialogs - and no dbus communication would be there to take place if PhoneKit does it itself. Unless ofcourse this is implemented with PhoneKit talking to itself over dbus, which would be a bit odd. -- Naked
