I've installed racy 5.5. I'm posting from it now. Seems OK on this machine. I've installed your .pet.
I've installed dbus-1.2.4.2permissive-1-w5.pet andRemember that dbus and dbus-glib from wary's repository are required.
dbus-glib-0.82-w5.pet. With the first I got a message to say I had to reboot before it would work. I am just about to do that.
