Samba is software for big installations, and primarily used on non-desktop servers. Well, it _serves_ files, so it is natural to expect it to be on servers. But I do not know what exactly positions it as for big installations. Samba is found in set-top-boxes, on mobile devices (I just seen it on

  Just because others do it in a particular way, doesn't make it right. Although Rygel can be run as a system-wide service, the main target use-case is that of providing services per-user[1] so for example each user can choose to share his media on the network rather than every user's media.

It would be very appreciated if you could introduce as many as possible of the changes in libxklavier in an ABI-compatible way. This library is also used by KDE and Xfce, and every time this requires synchronised updates, or even porting, of a number of packages. I am doing my best, but
