It'd also require one extra dbus call at a _minimum_ for every call to
Mouse.click_object & Touch.tap_object (those names are from memory, might
not be 100% accurate). While Dbus is fast, it's not fast enough to allow us
to do this without noticing the impact.

If we can avoid it, I'd rather we not rely on dbus for this.
