Thank you. I knew that creating a DBus transport would be an option, but I was just hoping someone else had beaten me to it :-)
I looked at doing this a year or so ago for C#, but I didn't actually have any DBus expertise. I still don't, but I now have access to some C++ DBus code that works, so there is now more of a challenge on the Thrift side. I'll see if I can free up some time to work on it.
