This patch needs some more effort. It breaks search_driver() for local drivers, which is used by the Appearance applet for installing a 3D capable driver. This is also caught by the test suite:

D-BUS API: Search for a noninstalled driver ... ERROR
D-BUS API: Search for a driver which gets enabled ... FAIL

We can only take this shortcut if we search for printer drivers from OpenPrinting at this point. It's a gross hack, but as long as we don't have Jockey support for Ubuntu printer driver packages in Ubuntu, then we can live with it. I won't commit that hack into trunk, though.
