Just some pointers to my work (significantly based on Ray's), in case
people are interested:

The project page:

http://code.google.com/p/scmon/

The D-Bus interface:

http://scmon.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/monitor/com.novell.Pkcs11Monitor.interface

A simple client:

http://scmon.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/listener/scmon-client.c

I have a patch for gdm which uses this.  In addition to listening for
the d-bus events, in the case of a smart card login it uses a
different pam service name which is configured for smart cards.
