Now you can use
M-x info-display-manual RET dbus RET
[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
This is arguably a feature request, but it seems so glaring that you
might consider it a bug. If I'm in an xterm and type `info dbus' I get
a nice info session about emacs/dbus integration. But there doesn't
seem to be any way to visit the same page from within emacs using
info-mode other than `M-: (info "dbus")'. This seems needlessly
inconvenient. `C-u M-x info <RET> dbus <RET>' ought to get me to the
same node if there's no info file named "dbus" in the current working
directory. Also, there should be some syntax to disambiguate:
`C-u M-x info <RET> :dbus <RET>' maybe
Thanks and regards,
Dave
