Right, but do you think this is a good idea? I must admit I don't know how
this would effect performance - construction the query object via dbus
calls...

Also, I think such query object onstruction should be bound to the native
toolkit of your desktop, so that it is a GObject in Gnome fx (I know that
this is not ruled out in your suggestion).
