* I don't know what I was smoking when I wrote this. Some of the structures and techniques used are weird. There's a sn_sequences data list that really should be a hash (from string to SN_Sequence). But for some reason I haven't done that. I don't know why. Similarly, I have a fixed structure for SN_Sequence, which may not be a very clever move. It may be better as a hash (again); but I don't know why I didn't make it that way to begin with. My biggest worry is that there was a good reason for doing it this way. * I've tried to follow the coding standard that I can see in the Ecore sources -- namespacing, etc. So everything public should be prefixed with sn_ (or suitable capitalisation). It compiles cleanly with gcc 3.4, -Wall, no warnings. * The plan was to have sn_init automatically send out a REMOVE message. However, the spec says that it should take the ID from an environment variable. Haven't quite figured out how to do this. * I've got a function called sn_x_message which sends out a client message as defined in the spec. This is probably a good candidate for inclusion into ecore_x proper. Sorry if this feels a little raw -- it's not quite as bad as that. It works perfectly fine, as far as I can test (GNOME, KDE, XFCE, etc. all work with it). Hope this helps someone... Regards, Gen
