an obvious problem of this simple implementation is that one application
requesting 300m will make *every* listening application try to free up
300m.
this needs some arbitrating instance (either a daemon or some more
functionality in the lib itself). also, priorities are needed, including
dynamic priorities (e.g., lower priority when unfocused and idle).
i think symbian has such a system.
i think you want to propose a freedesktop standard. didn't somebody
already do that? :)
