for now (and for learning :D ) i implemented d-bus receive in
'user-space' / outside of the directfb library. i use
eventbuffer->PostEvent(eventbuffer ... to actually send the message
and direct_thread_create() to create a thread (is there a better way
to create directfb-conform threads? this method seems to be very
internal), thats all i need from directfb.
messages from d-bus seem to have trouble when using in directfb. while
directfb's events has a more or less simple memory-print d-bus
messages have lots of strings with arbritratry length attached. after
processing the event someone has to cleanup / free the attached
memory. am i wrong in that directfb has no event->Release() or similar
mechanism? how can i send such events?
