An headless deamon can be anything with any use cases. One use case that I came with, where the dconf model did not work was package managers. > > - Per application setting shall be possible (GLib has that) > Via keyfiles? Not, GLib networking proxy support was first implemented transparently. Application now has required API to prevent the proxy resolver to be called automatically. They can also pick and setup a configuration they want, regardless of what the system settings are, and regardless of where the settings are from. Though not used at the moment, an example use case is S5B, a proxies file transfer API in XMPP that uses socks protocol for handsake. Current API has now enough flexibility to be used to handle that. > > - Per network profile setting shall be possible > Define "nework profile". Is this a NetworkManager concept?

The idea is to have different settings for different wired network, but unlike WIFI, there is no natural way to identify it. So you can configure multiple profiles, and user can choose the profile manually. More advance implementation can add up heuristic, like the gateway mac address, the subnet, etc. to automatically pick the profile. Proxy configuration could also be attached to VPN settings, as being on certain VPN may require specific proxy etc. > > > With the network profiles in place now, we could attach settings to > > profiles. > > > What is this?

For work laptop, it's often (but not limited to) a home vs office configuration. cheers, Nicolas _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
