I did some tests with bot xmlrpc and dbus and i liked dbus a lot more because: - it offers authentication (probably needed for multiuser enviroment) - it has less overhead then xmlrpc - we can choose wether we want to use sockets, unix sockets or the session buses. - it will be used by (at least) kde 4.0 (afaik) - we can filter on messages - we can use the activation framework for the plugins - we get disconnect messages when clients drops - good integration with glib The only real downsides i see with dbus are: - it is not ported atm (but it will be at least according to havoc) - it is not completly stable yet > > * Basic text (i.e. not XML) > This is actually what I prefer, but everyone seems to want something else > these days.
