D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. In addition to interprocess communication, D-Bus helps coordinate process lifecycle; it makes it simple and reliable to code a "single instance" application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when their services are needed.

D-Bus supplies both a system daemon (for events such as "new hardware device added" or "printer queue changed") and a per-user-login-session daemon (for general IPC needs among user applications). Also, the message bus is built on top of a general one-to-one message passing framework, which can be used by any two apps to communicate directly (without going through the message bus daemon). Currently the communicating applications are on one computer, or through unencrypted TCP/IP suitable for use behind a firewall with shared NFS home directories.

xdg-dbus-proxy is a filtering proxy for D-Bus connections. It can be used to create D-Bus sockets inside a Linux container that forwards requests to the host system, optionally with filters applied.

Libsigc++ implements a type-safe callback system for standard C++. It allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of whether it is static or virtual. It also contains adaptor classes for connection of dissimilar callbacks and has an ease of use unmatched by other C++ callback libraries.

This library provides objects and helper methods to help reading and writing AppStream metadata.

GLib bindings for D-Bus. The package is obsolete and superseded by GDBus included in Glib.

Template-GLib is a library to help you generate text based on a template and user defined state. Template-GLib does not use a language runtime, so it is safe to use from any GObject-Introspectable language.

Template-GLib allows you to access properties on GObjects as well as call simple methods via GObject-Introspection.

A small little utility to run a couple of executables under a new DBus session for testing.

cppgir processes .gir files derived from GObject introspection annotations into a set of C++ files defining suitable namespaces, classes and other types that together form a C++ binding.

Dex provides Future-based programming for GLib-based applications.

It both integrates with and brings new features for application and library authors who want to manage concurrent code.

Dex also provides Fibers which allow writing synchronous looking code in C that uses asynchronous and future-based APIs.

This module provides perl access to GLib and GLib's GObject libraries. GLib is a portability and utility library; GObject provides a generic type system with inheritance and a powerful signal system. Together these libraries are used as the foundation for many of the libraries that make up the Gnome environment, and are used in many unrelated projects.

GLib provides the core application building blocks for libraries and applications written in C. It provides the core object system used in GNOME, the main loop implementation, and a large set of utility functions for strings and common data structures.

Net::DBus provides a Perl XS API to the DBus inter-application messaging system. The Perl API covers the core base level of the DBus APIs, not concerning itself yet with the GLib or QT wrappers.

This variant D-Bus package is built with verbose mode, which eases debugging of D-Bus services by printing various debug information when the DBUS_VERBOSE environment variable is set to 1. For more information, refer to the dbus-daemon(1) man page.

Intltool is a set of tools to centralise translations of many different file formats using GNU gettext-compatible PO files.

The intltool collection can be used to do these things:

Extract translatable strings from various source files (.xml.in, glade, .desktop.in, .server.in, .oaf.in).

Collect the extracted strings together with messages from traditional source files (.c, .h) in po/$(PACKAGE).pot.

Merge back the translations from .po files into .xml, .desktop and oaf files. This merge step will happen at build resp. installation time.

Accounts SSO is a framework for application developers who wish to acquire, use and store web account details and credentials. It handles the authentication process of an account and securely stores the credentials and service-specific settings.

Glibmm provides a C++ programming interface to the part of GLib that are useful for C++.

cppgir processes .gir files derived from GObject introspection annotations into a set of C++ files defining suitable namespaces, classes and other types that together form a C++ binding.

V-Shell (Vertical Workspaces) lets the user configure different parts of the shell, including panels, corners, workspaces.

Numix is a modern flat theme with a combination of light and dark elements. It supports GNOME, Unity, Xfce, and Openbox.

Moka is a stylized desktop icon set, designed to be clear, simple and consistent.
