I wish I knew what triggered this bug and what it means!
Recently, I get occassionally the error message

tramp-gvfs-dbus-event-error: Connection ":1.35" is not allowed to
add more match rules (increase limits in configuration file if required)

As far as I could find out, the message is not generated by emacs.
Yet I am confused that tramp picks up this error message.
This happens with ubuntu intrepid.

Even if the error message ultimately has nothing to do with emacs,
it might help if tramp handled it in a way that made it easier for
the user to put this message into perspective. (Yet as I do not know
what the message means, I do not no either whether such a thing was
feasible for tramp.)

tramp-gvfs uses D-Bus. The message above comes from D-Bus, it is related
to Tramp.

I agree, that it shall be transformed into something understandable by
the user. I will check how I could do it.

However, I also would like to know where it comes from. Which Tramp
method have you used? Did you enable Tramp traces (by setting
tramp-verbose to 8), so I could check them?

Best regards, Michael.

Recently, I have been using tramp very rarely. In the current emacs
session that gives me these messages I haven't used it at all
(intentionally).

(I do have from old times a (require 'tramp) in my .emacs, but there
is no further customization or any other intentional reference to
tramp in my current emacs sesion.)

I've done that in my .emacs. Up to now it hasn't given me anything
helpful (though I got more messages from tramp-gvfs-dbus-event-error
about these match rules). I'll let you know if I get anything
useful.

Do you have new traces? Emacs 24 will go into pretest soon, and I'm
trying to clean up old bugs.

I'm closing this bug; there haven't been new information for 2 years.
