You're describing our plugin system.

That would mean the plugin has a plugin. It's possible to do that, but it will 
greatly increase the complexity of writing the plugin in the first place.

Instead of driving D-Bus out of the xcb and wayland plugins, we'd instead load 
a secondary plugin that did some tasks. We can't decide "now send this 
message", but instead we'd write "update systray".
