I hadn't considered using FMA mainly because this isn't a fault but more of an async event that someone needs to respond to. The reason for suggesting a sysevent was because it allows multiple different possibilities fow "who" is listening. One possible case is that HAL picks up the sysevent and passes it to something in the users GNOME session using DBUS. I will have a look at FMA though, thanks for the suggestion. -- Darren J Moffat
