Well, Qt (in the extended sense of the word) already provides Service
Framework. It also provides "blessed" DBUS binding. So such things are
not entirely out of scope.

My preferred approach would be to rewrite Service Framework to use a
low latency solution. This was suggested before and shot down, but
that transpired before feb 11 and open governance so some things may
be different now.

Agreed. I'm not particularly interested in bloating Qt - but pointing
at a fast way to do IPC as a "Qt endorsed" solution might be a good
idea.
