gapplication support for system bus

This is needed to run a gapplication service on the system bus, which is what I'm doing with dconf.

I don't think we will accept this at this point.  It makes no sense for "applications".

The fact that dconf is implemented using GApplication is probably a mistake, and almost certainly evidence of Conway's law.  If we want to get dconf running on the system bus then it's probably better to start by removing the GApplication usage from dconf.
Comment 2 Andrew Stormont 2016-05-16 13:13:51 UTC 
What about gapplications that have the service flag set?  It seems to me like there is room for this in glib.
