1) Sense if a Dbus framework is already running 2) If not, start a user-level dbus daemon 3) Run Inkscape, use your scripting and extensions 4) When closing Inkscape, if you started your own daemon, close it, too.
This is similar to Mozilla running on Unix. It has one executable to set up the environment before the .bin is launched. When you quit Mozilla, they both close.

Can someone point me to the discussion about Dbus running on non-Unix boxes? This is not a "downstream" thing, of course, but must be addressed at the top level.
I'm not sure of authoritative documentation on this. But I know that the KDE folks are trying to get the environment running on win32. I believe these are their instructions for getting it built:

It seems that there is a DBus win32 project.
