At about the same time last year I recommanded that gdomap could be the 
deamon keeping track of all the running GNUstep applications. It already 
does so, just type in "gdomap -N". We just would need to switch from an 
internal interface to a documented one. I did not get much feedback at 
the time.

But this specific deamon would not be able to do the other things that 
have been suggested.
