Getting DBUS Messages from Networkmanager (Python)
I had some spare time and so I started playing with DBUS. I was annoyed that after NetworkManager established a connection I always start the same programs like ekiga, pidgin, firefox and evolution. So I wrote a small python program that start software if the NetworkManager singals an open connection via DBUS. The NetworkManager DBUS-API is available. The hardest part was to find the docs.

Great post, thanks. Don't forget to add 'loop.run()' at the end.
