If it would send dbus messages it should be possible to have other programs react to the dbus message. For example, when i connect to an unknown network, a dialog box pops up and i get to define it using a nice graphical user interface. But i'm still waiting to see what Red Hat manages to come up with in their network-manager tool. Just my 5 (euro) cents. -- Rasmus Toftdahl Olesen <halfdan@halfdans.net>
