There is a nasty subtlety in this request which I've noticed with dbus-native on my local builds. If I launch a devshell, then within it try and launch a local X app which uses dbus, it finds the dbus in the native sysroot, not the host system one. Since X11 is disabled in the native dbus, it then generall gives me nasty errors and breaks the X app I wanted to run. So far I've just ignored this but it will do the same thing to nativesdk, namely break X apps once the dbus-nativesdk is in PATH. So I'm not sure disabling X11 is a good idea here. Perhaps not installing the dbus binaries into PATH for nativesdk might be good enough to avoid undesired affects but we need to think it through very carefully and the request isn't as simple as it first appears.
