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 :-).
