The difference with C# applications is that they do not use libdbus because a) there is no binding for it b) there is dbus-sharp. This makes it very unlikely that C# applications might use libdbus before anything else. The corner-case where a C# library indirectly uses libdbus (via libgconf) without knowing it was patched. If you want to blame someone, then the library that broke API/ABI behavior: libgconf, as it was thread-safe (by default) before moving to the dbus backend. -- Best regards, Mirco 'meebey' Bauer FOSS Developer mee...@meebey.net https://www.meebey.net/ Debian Developer mee...@debian.org http://www.debian.org/ GNOME Foundation Member mmmba...@gnome.org http://www.gnome.org/ PGP-Key ID 0xEEF946C8 https://meebey.net/pubkey.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
