10.21 D-Bus Integration

When using laptops or other systems that have a sleep or hibernate functionality, it’s possible for long-running server connections to become “hung”, requiring the user to manually close and re-open the connections after the system resumes. On systems compiled with D-Bus support (check the value of (featurep 'dbusbind)), Gnus can register a D-Bus signal to automatically close all server connections before the system goes to sleep. To enable this, set gnus-dbus-close-on-sleep to a non-nil value.
