Yes, that was it. I just realized that the dbus version I'm running 
(0.34) is newer than the last "official" package available for FC4, 
which is 0.33. Just to make sure there was nothing wrong with the 
package I had installed, I downgraded to the latest FC4 version. But the 
problem remains.

That means that others working on this not-too-exotic distribution will 
probably run into the same problem. Could there be a work-around? I 
tried quoting the Exec command in the .service file, but to no avail.

What version of dbus is known to work?

Thanks again,   Nick.
