I recently have had a look to d-bus and it looks like something I already built into pbbuttonsd to communicate with clients. But my IPC interface is not as complicated and complex. I made only a glimpse and I have no idea yet how powerfull d-bus already is or will be but if this protokoll had a chance to become common I would think about changing pbbuttonsd to support d-bus. But I think the possibility to react on certain events in a shell script will be needed for a long time because nothing is easier to handle even from persons not very familiar with programming.
