yeah but it would be nice to amalgamate some daemons (only if it makes 
sense and does not result in unmanageable and/or over complicated code) 
to improve startup time and lessen memory overhead.

A general "activity monitor" daemon could be created that encompasses 
some of these although it would probably be system wide and use the 
system bus (I believe Galgo uses the session bus?)

jamie.
