If you mean per-user daemon, I think you don't really want one of these. There's no good way to implement it, except a client-server architecture (like imap or ldap), and you can't make that work "out of the box" In practice if you try to do a per-user daemon you will get a per-(user,machine)-pair daemon, and that is just not very useful; at that point you may as well make things more sane and do a per-session daemon. Almost all daemons in GNOME/KDE are per-session. For per-session you can either connect to the X server or to the session dbus daemon or to DCOP as a way of tracking the session lifecycle. If per-(user,machine) is OK, then per-session should also be OK; in both cases you can have multiple daemons per home directory and per user running at the same time.
