To be clear Zeitgeist here is just the engine, a dbus service, so
there is no GUI.

That said we have experiented with something similar to Dashboard and
the engine is indeed capable of driving such a thing, if one adds
another layer of voodoo to the logic. Seif is really the expert here
so I shall omit the details.

But such use cases are not very high priority right now. We focus on
getting the simple things to work.
