"This is not rocket science -- it's the preferred way of handling X connections -- but as far as I can see D-Bus is incapable of it. Am I wrong?"

Can you explain how SSH can be used to forward Unix sockets other than X11's?

I have been looking for that for years but never found any example on how to do that.
Since it works for X11 it can't be rocket science but so far all indicators I've seen say that SSH is incapable of it.

You can't forward AF_UNIX sockets with OpenSSH generally :( like I said, doing this properly requires changes to OpenSSH too.

Perhaps one could use socat.

Probably. After all, socat can do anything. Downside: reading the manual requires dark rites first to prevent your brain dribbling out of your ears. It's the Emacs of netcats.

Yes, you can certainly use socat with ssh to forward UNIX-domain sockets.
