Ok, so I got my daemon to work just fine by calling gtk_main() (as well as
using status_changed).  Thanks to all for the help, you guys were spot on.

My only problem is that gtk_main() transfers control away from my daemon.
Is it possible to attach to the GLib main loop and return back to my own
code from time to time (the project I'm working on has it's own internal
scheduler and I'm not up for a big rewrite now)?

For now, I've simply written a custom daemon that monitors "status_changed"
messages and executes the desired script.

While I think that a custom daemon is the wrong solution to this problem it
may be useful -

How about diaperd?  (Dbus IAP Execute Uh..... something...

Despite the bad humor, it may be useful to finish.

Brad.

PS And sorry for misdirecting this to users - the danger of auto completion
and inattention.
