Hi Josselin,

If you expose an interface to D-Bus, you don't need any kind of plugins.
Methods are published to the D-Bus server, and my app as a D-Bus client
connect to this server to call methods, to get properties or link himself
to signals.

I think I've not really understand your suggestion maybe ?

About complexity, no big deal. I ( and other future reporting applets? )
just need to be informed if Brasero is burning, and if it's the case, know
how many percent is done and maybe the remaining time.
