My fault, i coded it. When i started coding the ecore dbus my plan was to make it in fact another binding, like qt or gtk, cant recall now why i didnt do it that way, i think there were some issues, but as i said i cant remember :/ > I'm starting to piece together some basic test code to this end, but > just wanted to ask why this wasn't done in the first place?
