That is a bad idea since it raises all sorts of authentication
and security issues.

I had looked at them a while back but everything seemed immature.  I've 
switched to a Linux desktop now and the programs that use dbus/hal work 
well.

I'd suggest starting with a separate program that can even figure out
something useful has happened and then work on a communication 
mechanism.  If the former program has to operate as root then it will be 
a bit of a pain.

As for getting of RH9, I think it is reasonable to say that BitPim is 
useful on systems being used as desktops.  Gaim is an IM client which is 
also used on desktops:

The only way to pull that off requires using VMWare which I have or 
VMWare server which is free.  However I need some way of having typing 
go to all the VMs at the same time (ie I can type 'make' and have it hit 
  9 VMs concurrently).  Anyone aware of a tool that can do that?
