I've been hoping for an API like this for some time, as it would enable gnome-do/quicksilver/etc integration with applications themselves. Workflows like file->save as can be done very elegantly for a power user by gnome-do style interaction, but it requires integration with the apps themselves. My suspicion is that Mac OS uses its accessibility APIs to work with menus like that - is that an option for GNOME? _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
