I *think* we need to set up to receive notification signals from dbus, but
most of the available documentation and examples are beyond my C

( http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/#index4h1 ). There's also
what seems to be an extensive example of signal creation and capture at

You need to first make a list of "what to watch" and then find out "who
will
watch." We can not receive dbus signals until it is no one who send these
signals :)
Already when I implemented the reading switches on the input event devices, I
considered that monitoring could be carried out in tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol
that would send dbus signals. But that would require first change way to
refresh informations in tdehw-lib.

For input
event devices such periodic rescan now represent dbus call to
check the status of switches. Find ways to solution listed as 1) would
be good.
I also think we should investingate option 1), even though I have no idea
how to do that.
