I implemented this for net-rhythmbox a long time ago, but it was removed
in the merge with Rhythmbox. The plan is to use the notification area
for this kind of thing.
Also, with the latest Rhythmbox, you could use the Bonobo API to
implement this entirely outside the Rhythmbox process. the
getPlayerProperties method returns a property bag that can notify you
when the song changes, and will give you the title, etc.

So I thought there was a way to get notification from a property bag,
but I don't see it offhand in the bonobo docs...
