Hmm. Yes. By server I mean client server not the dbus daemon. I.e. the
side which exports the objects. 

I.e. for me (my terminology is network-oriented[1]):
- dbus server: something exporting objects. Eg. devkit, hal, nm
- dbus client: something connecting to server/listining for signals etc.
- dbus daemon: something running in background started
by /etc/init.d/dbus start & with session
- dbus bus: namespace in which servers and clients operates. Most
popular as system and session buses (now I know there is one-to-one
correspondence with daemons)

I belive that last time I read dbus-client documentation was
'client'-oriented.

PS. I hope no ASCII ribbonner will kill me for using HTML in subject

servers
