If you don't insist on dbus, then you might be interested in my 9P server
plans. In short words: pidgin becomes an fileserver which gives access
to all functions via a simple fs tree. 

AFAIK, there's already an java implementation for the 9P/styx protocol,
but as it's an very simple protocol, it's not a big deal to implement
a new one.

Simply one instance per user ?
