I think [hope!] so, the Accessibility at-spi now does that.  See app.c
and at.c (in directory at-spi/test), in app.c an event is dispatched
(but it is a oneway call) to the registry daemon (which is a second
process), which dispatches to a third listener process, and the third
process calls back into the originator of the event via an IOR.  If
this breaks for non-oneway calls we could be in trouble...
