Well, you'd still have to decide on the messages to support, etc. I doubt if
it would be much different. But, I do agree that a unified IPC mechanism would
be very good for Xfce.

I'm hoping that we can make some kind of framework to make Xfce fully
scriptable (xfce3 had that I think, by using fvwm style modules). Anyway,
that's a bit off-topic.

So, I think it would be a good idea to use D-Bus. I would like to hear
Benedikt opinion too, since he has most experience with it.
