When I need this then this is what I normally do as well.  It is
simple and uncomplicated.

I worry that dbus is a large and incompletely documented system
environment with many dependencies and tendrils.  It isn't something
that is easy to fully understand at one sitting.  I do not understand
it after many sittings.  Coding it into ssh probably isn't a general
purpose solution.  It doesn't feel like the right direction to me.
