The suggesting here is to use dbus to start applications in terminal
shell as the same user UID, not to have the system dbus start the app.
I just ran into something in F-10 that would really need to be fixed
if this starts to happen. I ssh'd into my F-10 machine and started
firefox (across the X11 -Y-mode tunnel). After I quit and tried
to end the session, the ssh tunnel stayed open. Investigation showed
that there was a dbus session holding a connection open --- I suppose
firefox had started it. I had to kill it manually to terminate the
ssh session.
In short, if you launch one automatically you'd better have provisions
to make it go away automatically...
