New patches attached (with changelog). Open issues are which error codes
to return, see the patch. Desktops tried so far and working: xfce4 and
lxde.

Most glib2.0 and dbus tests pass (after bootstrapping). And no fakeroot
passing wrong credentials (as in the current versions of hurd/glibc: a
BUG). Test code almost the same as submitted in November 2013.

Thanks!
