I disagree pretty fundamentally with all three of your assertions, but I don't want to go off on a tangent. We can discuss them off-list if you're interested. > 3) It really needs to be a freedesktop solution written in C cause it > looks likely that KDE will produce their own solution so adding to a lot > of needless wheel reinvention. Just as an FYI: Beagle exposes (and uses) a dbus interface as its primary search interface, so it's available to any application using any toolkit without a compile-time (and if written correctly, run-time) dependency other than dbus. Granted, this doesn't address the fact that the runtime of the service itself, whether it be a glib application or a mono application or python or whatever, is there and consuming resources. But your options are either to pick one or write one yourself. Personally I don't feel this is a major issue on a modern desktop, but others feel differently.
