For example, gdm or logind could start my shell with access to an object implementing the "find a printer" interface. Programs that inherit access to that object would use it.
Sandboxed programs, on the other hand, might get access to a different "find a printer" interface that behaves differently.
dbus can do this right now. On my Fedora 21 system, my shell and everything it starts has access to a standard implementation of a lot of these things. It looks like:
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-qB3T8DFwej,guid=1453a3565ca58487e6a024fe5538ad89
Too bad that doesn't seem to apply to the system bus.
