Nice. I've written something very similar, but mine relies more on the
shell and having to use lots of programs. I wanted to create an
extensible tool that you could use as the foundation of a shell script
that chains lots of

actually my intent was to get away from bash scripts/whatnot and having
to use so many different programs to generate a status line

I stopped my investigation when Anselm accepted the xprop patch. Now
status scripts will be just another background process with an X
connection (like xterm), and there should be no need

I'm not using the glib bindings so there isn't that much complexity,
and there is really only 1 method to handle, the rest are very simple
(i've actually already coded them).
Guillaume,
hg tip contains Neale's x property based status feed approach which I
agree with after some thought. I think there are no open issues
anymore and no need for popen, SIGALRM and spawn2 etc.
Try it, I'm going to do a new release tomorrow.
Kind regards,
Anselm

Here's some simple C code I wrote to handle setting the
xprop without using xsetroot. At the moment it just
spawns the same shell scripts I used before, but it may
be useful for those having issues with xsetroot...
If anyone is interested, this is the beginings of a
libnotify-aware status script
