DBus is simply an IPC mechanism, the USE flag only enables the software |
| 14 |
to talk to other software. What each piece of software does with that |
| 15 |
ability is as varied as the software that uses it. Any such list would be |
| 16 |
long, incomplete and almost certainly out of date and not relevant to the |
| 17 |
USE flag anyway. |

What you're asking is a bit like asking for a complete list of the |
| 20 |
abilities the python USE flag adds, when all you can really say is it |
| 21 |
allows the software to run Python scripts, not what those scripts may do. |
