Thanks, I'm happy to make changes. I think I understand what you are
suggesting (and what Michael suggested earlier) and it is certainly
desirable to make this more independent of D-Bus. My programming skills
are extremely rudimentary so it might take some time (or I might fail
altogether).

Best,
Andy
