IMHO yes.

At least all the apps included into the device are D-BUS services.
(See /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/services/ dir on the device)


Btw. Maybe better would be if the code from Desktop that does this would
be split off as a separate library.  According to:
  http://maemo.org/lxr/source/maemo-af-desktop/hildon-navigator/

The code for this seems currently to involve three C-files:
- others-menu.c
- windowmanager.c
- osso-manager.c
(Desktop seems to use either D-BUS, window topping or Execing depending
on the situation.)
