Yeah there are a bunch of interesting proposals for application data 
sharing over dbus.  There was one for sharing a single presence status 
code between applications (online, away, busy, etc.). I think I linked 
to it from the Wiki, not sure if it's still active. Galago or Galaga or 
something?

I don't think many dbus services has yet to make it into a Gnome 
release, or if they have, nobody publicized it much... as far as I can 
tell there's no one place to find out about dbus from a more 
user-centered perspective. I.e. there's no one list of dbus service 
names anywhere.  Maybe that's intentional though.
