Sorry but have I missed something very obvious here? I recently built an HTPC with an Antec case that has this exact iMon LCD and iMon software.
When I installed the latest iMon manager from Soundgraph's forums it seamlessly integrated itself with XBMC, with no changes needed from me at all. It displays RSS news when it should, title information for movies and music when it should, and spins the disc icon etc when media is playing. I get a proper top/bottom countdown bar as my media plays too.
Admittedly it doesn't light up the 5.1 sound icons or the HD icon, but almost everything else works as it should.
So maybe I've done something different to everyone else, but I'm not clear what this plugin is doing that is more than you get with the built in (and pretty good) functionality.
