One method that might do an end run around all these dbus difficulties
would be to make the changes as the user, from within the user's
environment, automatically.

For example, generate a script to make the appropriate changes, and
place it in the user's startup sequence. Or run it from the user's
crontab. Or add it to the user's X startup script. Or any of a dozen
different other ways.

Just a thought.
