I went for the persistent connection because I had another possible feature in mind: Multiuser spying!!! The logout dialog could have an entry telling you how many other users currently are logged in (or easier to code: how many other sessions are open). To have it updated in real time you need a persistent connection, or GDM had to connect to gnome-session. Or you have to do polling - but polling is even more evil than connecting to gnome-session. > > I agree to Jeff, but I'd maintain the patch until it becomes official. > > Well, at most for 10 years or so... > > Don't worry, it doesn't take that long to commit to cvs :) > I know that you're fast :-) I just worried that it might never get official.
