dbus has nothing to do with dns-lookups. In principle dbus is network- transparent. But in practice only with complicated authentication (that only works on the same computer) or with a special patch to allow anonymous connections. So the default mode of the servers don't activate 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. > 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. Arnold
