<para>It is recommended for new-style daemons to implement the
bus-activatable by supplying a D-Bus service activation
configuration file. This has multiple advantages: your daemon
may be started lazily on-demand; it may be started in parallel
- to other daemons requiring it -- which maximizes

parallelization and boot-up speed; your daemon can be
restarted on failure without losing any bus requests, as the
bus queues requests for activatable services. See below for
