Perhaps. Apparently a programs that does not listen to dbus events is not maemo
friendly and a typical SDL programs will do just that(not listen to
the events). If we can easily modify the SDL lib
to map these event to standard events that would be great.

But not everything can and should be abstracted away sometime t's
better to provide good examples,
certainly if we need to integrate the dbus hander in the main loop.:p
