Attached is a little patch to skip the DBus Proxy setup if the initial
Dbus connection has failed. This isn't related to the original problem
but might be good anyway.

Another question: why is the whole error message handling commented out
in the zemberek code?

And finally, I'm pretty sure the t_type_init() isn't the problem. I
noticed, if I link the test app against the Glib-DBus libs, it works
nicely. Without it fails.
So, the whole thing is maybe only a bug in the build process rather
than in the code itself.

Yes, something like this should do the trick. I don't know much about
the zemberek server(?). But I'd like to see some improvements on this.

You actually need this if the app (which is using libenchant.so)
doesn't have the GType system has initialised before. In other words,
GTK apps(abiword, ...) which use enchant wouldn't need this call but
other apps, maybe console apps actually need it.
