Anything goes. But first I need to do the dirty part: communicate with
dbus. At least I'm able already to see all registered services, and
to react on the screensaver signal.

That makes me happy :-)

Btw, dbus has a concept of "queued registration". If several
applications register for the same service, just the first
registration is active. All requests to this service are forwarded to
this application. If the application disappears, the next registration
from the queue will be active.

This would solve indeed the Emacs server disappearance problem,
because the next Emacs instance would take over control automagically.
