You need to know the address of the session bus to connect, which is

This is what I do:
$ cat /proc/<pid of openmoko-today>/environ
(extract DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and...)
$ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=blah
Don't know if there is a better way.
proctology eh? :-) But I don't want to depend on openmoko-today to
be running, either.
I modified cat /etc/X11/Xsession for now:
echo "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" > /tmp/dbus-session
IMO there must be some way to discover this DBUS address.
I find this approach very useful and simple. I was about to suggest
something similar.
I would propose that everything that makes some system-wide usable
environment should also write a 'export FOO=BAR' into
/volatile-memory/..../environ.d/FOO
/etc/profile could then source them all.
Openmoko is not multiuser. There is no reason why a ssh user should not
be able to start X programs or use gconf and dbus.
So what abut making DISPLAY, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and so on system wide?
