maybe it fits in it's own deamon that listen to kernel event and send
them do dbus deamon.
so any application (gaim etc) decide to listen on dbus to events from
this deamon.

so dbus deamon stay generic. and freebsd people can write a similar
deamon so applications like gaim and so on keep working without
changing code in them.
