The fundamental problem is that both DBUS and the GUI are
asynchronous.  Thus, when the GUI is waiting for a user event, it
needs to also watch for data on the DBUS connection, and tell DBUS
when it happens.

The easy-to-use DBUS wrapper supports Gtk, but not Lesstif.

It's not that we can't support multiple messaging schemes, it's that
each individual scheme needs to know how to work with any of the
available GUIs.
