Well, guys, really dig into the xdg archive... I have this strange feeling 
that you're reinventing the wheel here.

For instance, you mentionned Solid::PowerManagement, guess what it's using 
internally? It's hiding a D-Bus interface for the KDE developers, and this 
interface is modelled after a non finalized spec of the freedesktop.org (I 
hope it'll get final soon BTW... I should probably poke again there).

And that's one example but there's similar stuff for the other use cases you 
mentionned.

Regards.
