So - at this point, I'd like to advertise FUSE gratuitously[1]; what with the ease of writing a FUSE filing-system, and the fact that we have a GVFS fuse mount already; it should be near-trivial to write a 'vi compatible' FUSE plugin there, that would show the configuration data as ".ini style" or "fugly verbose gconf XML style" or whatever ;-) At least, that's ok for the user XML, perhaps for the system, it's necessary to type some unbelievably verbose mount command-line to get the same effect - but hey; sysadmins are good at that right ? :-) That way we can have a sane data format, and the appearance of a text storage (and backup / restore / whatever) as well. Of course this should also take a clueful hacker all of - oh an hour or two to write ;-) HTH, Michael. [1] - though, I'm not at the "lets use it for all database queries" type wide-eyed end of the spectrum ;-) -- michael.me...@novell.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
