What if there is a long-running session blocking you? Wasn't that the
reason for the read-only methods in the Server API?
Do you really need to know at startup time whether sources are
supported? Isn't it enough that there is a config where they are
enabled?
I assume you agree because you created
Bug 8091 - dbus api: source local-support status not available in Server
I've added CheckSource() and GetDatabases() to the Server API, see the
"pohly" branch.
