Bug#406923: dbus: Doesn't display adequare logging informa..

Package: dbus
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: normal

http://source-dump.blogspot.com/2007/01/dbus-error.html

The above URL has a screen capture of a KDE error message. It seems that dbusd
does not log any information related to this so I can't determine the cause of
the problem.

Dbusd needs to log information on why it denies operations.

Well the application can tell you which call on which interface failed, which
should tell you what's ``wrong'' in the dbus configuration. This isn't a
problem of dbus imho.

In debian you have to be part of the powersave group to access the dbus
interface of powersaved or hal, so your user probably isn't. Would be good if
the application you show here would show that as a hint


But i assume the point of this bug is that dbus-daemon should log this
information to syslog or ?
