INHO, the same data might be gathered w/o any sugar shell coding at
all, i.e., using things like DBus and X11 events sniffing. That should
let keepping shell code more clear (not monitoring code messing w/
regular one) and gathering feature more localized (if someone needs it,
just run the monitor, if you don't need it, do not bother about possible
sniffing in sugar code at all).

As it was announced in SSK-1.0 release notes, this feature will be a part
of SSK-1.2 release. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Server_Kit/1.2/Todo
