* @ingroup DBus
* @brief Functions for communicating with the message bus
*
+ * @todo right now the default address of the system bus is hardcoded,
+ * so if you change it in the global config file suddenly you have to
+ * set DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS env variable. Might be nice if the
+ * client lib somehow read the config file, or if the bus on startup
+ * somehow wrote out its address to a well-known spot, but might also
+ * not be worth it.
