Hi,

Thanks, you were faster than me.

Now that frameworks is QDBus free on Windows and macOS I would even 
propose that in a next update of the stuff we really not have QtDBus 
around at all on these systems and make the use optional for the apps 
that want to support them.

We go to great lengths to avoid that dbus stuff is ever called, even 
deleting the dll and the most freezes you will get if that is not done 
is just dbus related.

It would be great if people could join the effort to get that right.
