Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

This is arguably a feature request, but it seems so glaring that you
might consider it a bug.  If I'm in an xterm and type `info dbus' I get
a nice info session about emacs/dbus integration.  But there doesn't
seem to be any way to visit the same page from within emacs using
info-mode other than `M-: (info "dbus")'.  This seems needlessly
inconvenient.  `C-u M-x info <RET> dbus <RET>' ought to get me to the
same node if there's no info file named "dbus" in the current working
directory.  Also, there should be some syntax to disambiguate:
`C-u M-x info <RET> :dbus <RET>' maybe

Thanks and regards,
Dave

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
