D-Bus is good overall... There could definitely be improvements in remote connections though. I think there are workarounds... I use only CLI over SSH, though, so I never messed with it. CORBA was just terrible. I have encountered it a bit in the old Gnome days, and on AIX with CDE. Believe me, you don't want to deal with its bullshit. And that is coming from a user/admin POV. From everything I have heard it was worse for a programmer. I have done some simple Dbus stuff in Python and such, it seems simple enough. I never want to have to program any Corba...
