DBusKit: Integrating GNUstep applications with "foreign" desktop environments.

GNUstep has always encouraged good integration between different applications and provides technologies like distributed objects or the services-mechanism to do achieve this in elegant ways. Since these technologies are limited to the Objective-C ecosystem, integration with other desktop and programming environments has been lagging behind comparatively. This talk examines the present status and future directions of DBusKit, an Objective-C framework that provides access to the D-Bus IPC system, allowing better integration of GNUstep applications into environments that rely on D-Bus for IPC.
