Dbus is an infratrusture and a common language to make different applications on your desktop communicate. For example, if LyX was dbus enabled, you could have a menu option "Send as e-mail". If you choose this menu option, the following dialog between Lyx and Kmail through dbus would happen : LyX : Hello KMail, are you open and available KMail : Yes LyX : Open a new message window, and attach this file that is here on the filesystem KMail : At your service LyX : Bye KMail : Bye You have already something like that, the LyXServer : http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/PyClient but it is not portable, not a standard and difficult to debug if something goes wrong.
