  Well, I did the patch just for the dbus interface and it was easily
to extend it to the plugins, but I guess the destructor should do the
trick for the plugins. In any case, your comments just made me think
that I don't really know if dbus already implements a notification
when the interface is stopped. Does someone with dbus experience know
of it?

Implementing the return value seems like a nice idea to me 
but I don't know if the main muine window is able to wait for the
return value of a event interface for all plugins. What would happen
if there are 3 plugins that want to ask? will you get 3 popups asking
you?
