Re: [Bug 681887] Re: Moving Zeitgeist dbus Bus name from gnome to Freedesktop

we're perceived. Now that we're also in KDE, and looking at other
platforms besides that as well, it looks strange for us to be in the
GNOME namespace.

Zeitgeist currently uses the org.gnome dbus domain. As we are no longer a GNOME-specific project, I think it would make more sense to move the project to the org.freedesktop domain, as org.freedesktop.Zeitgeist.engine or something similar.
