Description

Source: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484945

The summary is that both KDE and GNOME would like to be able to provide an implementation of the service "org.gnome.PolicyKit".

If dbus was started by the desktop environment, then it could have full control, but this is an inversion problem similar to the one motivating the already extant SetActivationEnvironment bus method.

Proposals:

1. Add a bus method org.freedesktop.DBus.AddServiceDirectory(s) with obvious semantics
2. Go the full general route and do org.freedesktop.DBus.ParseConfig(s) which takes a fragment of bus configuration format.
