Yes.
on the server side, you set up a publish-subscribe model XMLRPC or CORBA 
service. This service just listens to local notifies and reacts to them by 
sending a message to the subscribing client. The subscribing client is an 
independent XMLRPC or CORBA based service running on the client side which 
has access to the dispatcher. Sending messages to the dipatcher should be 
thread safe (haven't looked into it yet, but it's easy to do if not done 
yet), and the dispatcher interacts with the GUI as ususal.
