     Thanks Gravis for putting exact data in the discussion It makes 
more sense.


     Nevertheless, I think RPC is overkill for DE's interaction with 
hardware events. I guess it is mostly dedicated to provide Gnome's or 
KDE's integrated apps a better interaction with their respective 
window-manager than foreign apps.


     I must confess I discovered ZeroMQ recently; it looks like the 
thing the programmer always needed since the advent of networking. I was 
blaming myself for not having used it in a multi-host+multi-language 
project started 7 years ago, but, well, it didn't exist yet :-).
