This is definitely something I'd be interested in! I can't say I know
anything about creating library code or working with DBus, but it seems

Also, I don't know if it might be useful or not, but I wouldn't mind trying
to "generalize" the chart code so it could be used for visualizing data in
other apps aside from just stocks. Maybe a KPart? I dunno what would be the
correct approach to such an idea.
