Hi Raphaël,
The dbus interface needs some love and maybe you are able to give it some. I would welcome your help.
DBus isn't compiled by default (I'm looking at the mailing list archive for more information for you) but it's still there.
The reasons people give for dismissing dbus are that it's slower that a direct API and way more complex to program than it has any right to be in c++.
I'd like to see some python dbus test suite that we can make more complete. I.e. we can run tests against inkscape using a testing framework more people can get into.
But I think there are some useful things we could do if we had a stable dbus api and I think a testing module would go a long way to triage it.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hello, I've noticed that a Dbus application was written during a former GSOC event (2009), and I was wondering why it was not included by default in Inkscape. Does the implementation still need some work? I would be glad to work on this if needed. Best, Raphaël
