Hello

Thank you very much for your answers. I am not verry skilled programmer, but I
rather would like to  try to make some small python script than use a workaround
with some indicator running in the background. Is there any documentation so i
can try to make the "mock register" inpython ?
Is this something like :
Net::DBus::Test::MockConnection - Fake a connection to the bus unit  testing
descibed :
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/gutsy/man3/Net::DBus::Test::MockConnection.3pm.html
??

Greetings K
