(Preamble: I already read through the API docs) I am definitely planning to use DBus. After all, it looks to me like everything needed is in the DBus interface(s) and there are not non-standard types around (btw, good job in that), so there's not a big advantage in using the glib library over dbus - which is definitely how things should be. The only thing I actually dislike is the Changed() signal, which makes no mention of which property was actually changed, forcing me to analyze the whole DBus interface to find out what changed. If the glib library addressed this issue providing a changed signal that would also list what got changed (a-la-hal, just to make it clearer), I could consider it. Of course, the best solution would be having this kind of signal into the DBus interface :) > > Cheers, > Michael -- ------------------- Dario Freddi KDE Developer GPG Key Signature: 511A9A3B
