Daisuke, I'm not talking about the API inside X servers. As an evidence, one major inclusion in the open source X server API today is the dbus and hal functionality. This modules let other clients (e.g. toolkits) to know when a device in plugged/unplugged. This is a good example of an app implementation that impacts directly in the design of the Common Desktop Infrastructure. (Probably my "mistake" is that I'm seeing this all by the application developer's perspective. I don't know...) my regards, -- Tiago Vignatti _______________________________________________ Desktop_architects mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop_architects
