Hi, in NM clients, such as the GUI applets and the CLI of yours truly, a fair amount of code deals with the connection settings. I got the idea that the current nm-system-settings service could be generalized to deal with the *user* settings too, so that one program could run as two processes serving the two services. That way the client code would be factored out in the separate settings service. One could then even use the same connections from different applets, unlike now when they are stored in KDE and GNOME specific stores.
I started coding it, registering nm-system-settings at NetworkManagerUserSettings, wanting to continue with the config file location and PolicyKit restrictions. Dan, Tambet told me that you intend to merge nm-system-settings into NM itself. I am afraid that it goes in pretty much the opposite direction than I would need. Could you share some details and reasons for the merge so that we can try to make the ideas work out together? -- Martin Vidner http://vidner.net/martin/software/cnetworkmanager/ Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
