Hi Marc,
Thanks for your reply. I wish I could be of more use to a project like
this. I am a fairly accomplished .NET developer (don't hate me) writing
high-level business applications (invoicing, inventory control, wms, etc)
with MS-SQL backends. But this kind of project seems a little out of my
usual zone.
Would it not be possible to implement a GTK+ "wrapper" around the core
application? That way people could install the main package and get a
standard X11 window like they do now or they could install the GTK version
and get the "connection bar" and perhaps a few other "goodies".
Just some thoughts... not sure what would be involved. Please excuse my
ignorance :-)
Regards,
Daren

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
