I think what Christian is asking for is the following: - Automagic detection is the default if no option is specified, - but it should be possible to override it with configure options --with-dbus or --without-dbus. > And why do you think we should go out of our way to cater to such a > possible desire? But it is done in the above-mentioned way for most Emacs features. Consider the case that someone builds Emacs on a computer where libdbus is installed, but wants to copy the binary to another computer where it isn't (or where no D-BUS daemon is running). Ulrich
