And you really believe that COM events are less messier than your
approach? come on. 
Explicit callbacks are always easier to write and understand than
registration with the COM eventsink manager object.
But on the other hand you loose portability and transparency for the
end-user. This is what COM is good for.

the german software ag has a DCOM port for linux. try that if you have
to.
