I'm not sure this will work.  This code uses some later dbus methods; I
had to upgrade to 24 to get it working.

That is already in the core.

I am fine with a GNU ELPA package.
I will try to do that once I've debugged the other problems.
Or, if you still want a unified package -- first, why? -- and second,
perhaps you could set it up.
