Apparently what's needed is some kind of per-user package manager. Most things an application will need can be done by manipulating stuff in the home directory. This includes things such as browser plugins. I guess it would be best to ensure that application authors can use every desktop feature without manipulating any root-owned files. Automatically adding ~/bin to PATH if it exists and the .local hierarchy are examples of this approach. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
