Actually, I just thought about this and the idea that someone may be using an application from one environment, in another. I agree somewhat. But sadly, since nobody can agree on an IPC method, this sucks. It might be a good idea to have the daemon that accesses the device just be totally independent, and just have higher-level backends that talk to that daemon via some sockets or something, while applications can use a higher level interface that integrates properly with the environment that they are written for. > > I would like to see a web "browser" that used the bookmarks system that > > is inherent in gnome, but no-one uses, except for me, apparently.

It has support for webdav and the favorites:// in gnome is just a vfolder that gnome-vfs reads from. So, assuming one is authenticated properly, you can write bookmarks to a webdav store. You can set up any other machine to support reading the list of bookmarks from the public area of that webdav store. In fact, I've done this with the ssh and http methods. :) -- dobey
