some code was added to compare services by Exec key. The changelog is
not pariticularly informative as to why this was added. But while
debugging other code, we noticed this.
Comparing by Exec key is not in the specification, and triggered a
problem where while converting services to use systemd for activation,
a change was made to use Exec=/bin/false and simply rely on systemd
to activate.
While I think it was broken for the service files to be changed

Fix some more stray occurrences of ELEMENT_TYPE
Andre Heinecke [Mon, 7 Mar 2011 10:43:23 +0000 (11:43 +0100)]
Do not use the name ELEMENT_TYPE
On Windows Systems ELEMENT_TYPE is already defined
in Winioctl.h this header is included indirectly
in dbus-sysdeps.h. By avoiding the use of the Name
ELEMENT_TYPE it is ensured that config-parser-common.h
can be included together with dbus-sysdeps.h

dbus_message_iter_append_basic: check string-like arguments for validity
Strings: UTF-8 with no embedded NULs, by adding a new internal function,
_dbus_check_is_valid_utf8
Object paths, signatures: the obvious syntactic checks
This moves some of the burden of validation to the sender.
When sending <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt>
10240 times with up to 1024 parallel calls pending, on a single-core ARM
Linux device, I found that user CPU time in dbus-spam increased by up to 80%
as a result of the validation. However, when sending messages to dbus-daemon,
overall throughput only reduced by 15%, and when sending messages to an echo
service, overall throughput actually improved by around 14% (presumably
because making the sender CPU-bound influenced kernel scheduling).

Allow X11 autolaunch to be disabled even if the headers/libraries are there
In an embedded system where the D-Bus session is a core part of the
environment, like Maemo, accidentally auto-launching a second session bus
(for instance for a concurrent ssh session) is a bad idea - it can lead
to a "split brain" situation where half the applications in the GUI are
using a different bus. In these controlled environments, it'd be useful
to prevent autolaunch from ever happening.
(As a side benefit, the changes to configure.in also mean that packagers
can explicitly --enable-x11-autolaunch, to make sure that failure to find
X will make compilation fail cleanly.)

Give XDG_DATA_HOME priority over XDG_DATA_DIRS for servicedirs
According to the XDG Base Directory Specification, “the base directory
defined by $XDG_DATA_HOME is considered more important than any of the
base directories defined by $XDG_DATA_DIRS.” This makes it easier to
override a system service file as a normal user.
