That was the subject of my talk at Desktop Developer Conference (this "minor"
conference that was earlier this week like evey year since 2004), were I
proposed ideas toward a *cross desktop* implementation of such a framework. The
people from KDE I did talk too were there are higly interested in such a feature.
DBus for this framework would just be an IPC mechanism, and not the object model.

I'll post the slide sometime next week when I actually have time to do so, but I
certainly want to push an idea like that to be implemented.
