This sounds like the way to go.  I don't think we want the driver listening 
for dbus events, it doesn't necessarily have enough information to act on 
them correctly.  If we kick this up to the server, then we can do things like 
generate randr notifies for clients, intelligently reconfigure our root 
window surface, etc.

Handling this through a callback coming out of the EGL layer seems wrong.
