Comment(by mstone):

 Rainbow, as of v0.6.1, generates DBus signals

 {{{
 ActivityLaunching - Rainbow is processing a request to launch an activity
 ActivityFailed - Rainbow knows the launch failed
 ActivityStarting - Rainbow's part of the launch succeeded
 }}}

 from interface ''org.laptop.security.Rainbow'', object ''/'' on the
 session bus.

 These signals have, as an argument, a single string->string dictionary
 which always contains keys named ''service_name'' and ''activity_id''. The
 {{{ActivityFailed}}} signal's dict will also contain a key named
 ''exception'' which will record any output printed by the failed activity
 on its stderr.

 Notes: If desired, support for logging stdout and for reporting strace()
 output could be trivially added. Also, due to current architectural
 constraints, the {{{ActivityFailed}}} signal may be fired twice for the
 same activity instance.

 cjb: Does this interface satisfy you needs?
