DESCRIPTION

that is not directly activatable, but will be provided automatically (after a while) by the desktop session.
EXIT STATUS
0 The bus name eventually appeared.
64 (EX_USAGE)
Invocation error (too many or too few arguments, or the bus name given was not a syntactically valid well-known bus name).
69 (EX_UNAVAILABLE)
mc-wait-for-name was unable to connect to the session bus.
75 (EX_TEMPFAIL)

The "reasonable time" to wait is currently hard-coded.
