D-Bus is designed for two specific cases:

* Communication between desktop applications in the same desktop
  session; to allow integration of the desktop session as a whole,
  and address issues of process lifecycle.

* Communication between the desktop session and the operating system,
  where the operating system would typically include the kernel and
  any system daemons or processes.

This is too generic to help me. Can you describe a few problems that
will be solved by forwarding D-Bus across ssh?

Also, should OpenSSH bridge the two D-Busses? Why? Why not?
