Actually it would be nice to have a feature user="current_X_user"
for the dbus conf files, but AFAIK there's no such feature :(

Also as far as I know no group has been found for access to
frameworkd so far. But please note, that both daemons are very
different from each other. ophonekitd does not touch your hardware
or suspend your phone, but just shows you the GUIs and sends calls
to frameworkd. There are only two things, which kept me from giving
access to *:
    * other users may spam you with GUIs
    * other users may start a ophonekitd server, which will
      probably conflict with the first one.

IMHO they made a mistake when they put ophonekitd on the system
bus. I think it would be better using the session bus.
