  For example, Network Manager uses D-Bus to tell programs when

KDE4 uses it quite extensively, ust as KDE3 used DCOP.
So that's why when I am downloading something it doesn't check my
emails.  I was always curious about that.
that shouldn't be the case - what email client are you using?  Evolution
supports this (with the networkmanager USE flag*) but it goes offline
when all your interfaces are down, not just "in use" like heavy
downloading.

* actually the USE flag (networkmanager instead of dbus) and the
comments on it suggest that it talks directly to NetworkManager and not
via dbus, but I don't actually know.

I use Seamonkey 2 right now. You may be able to tell that by that pesky line at the top. It appears Seamonkey has a roach or two rambling around in there. Anyway, maybe it is just that the download is making it slow enough that it just cancels the request when it is busy. I dunno. I have noticed tho that I don't get emails for a while when I am downloading something large but if I hit the 'get messages' button, then I get a lot of messages that appear to be time stamped from a good while ago.

Maybe this is just a coincidence or something.
