I think D-Bus is the right base technology - seems to be used in many major "camps" like kde and gnome and it has a small footprint, so other "camps" can use it too without major problems. But I have little clue if dbus is best used directly, or if you should integrate with some dbus-using service like hal. ok, hal is now in maintenance mode, but there are new daemons doing the same work (policy-kit, network manager, etc.). not sure if any of those would be a good place to publish your information, so client applications can retrieve it. freedesktop.org has a general mailing list "xdg", it could be a good place to ask for suggestions.
