Is the SSH support integrated to Nautilus? For example, if I were to try and access the files on a remote server using Nautilus/gnome-vfs, would I see seahorse helping me authorise/deny the server's key first? > Plugins > * File encryption (nautilus plugin) > * Text encryption (gedit plugin) > * A panel-applet for those with special clipboard encryption needs. What's that applet actually for? I don't quite understand how that would be used and/or useful to the majority of our users. > Other > * Rendezvous based key sharing to share a pool of keys on a network I guess you mean "Bonjour" here > The Seahorse developers' long term goal is to make encryption easy to > use within GNOME.

A patch to replace Evolution's "Contact Certificates", at least as a compile-time option, would be a good start. I believe that the integration should be done ahead of time, even if it is a compile-time option, something that users/distributions have got to opt-in to. -- Bastien Nocera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
