/usr/lib. Make a subdirectory if you're finding that a bunch of things from your project are ending up there. >> On a related note, are either the plugin API or ABI Public interfaces? >> > The plugin API is private as it is evolving from version to version. This > is why I didn't mentioned it. Should I mention it ? It's probably worth mentioning, yeah, just so everyone's aware it's not a Public interface. Though the ABI is more interesting as a Private interface, since end-users will still have to deal with the consequences of it evolving. >>>>> /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator Uncommitted Executable of gtk >>>>> decorator >> >> Is it something the user would ever run, or is it an implementation detail >> of compiz? > > Yes,users can switch between decorators as other window decorators exist > for example emerald (http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Decorators/Emerald) Ah, I see. gtk-window-decorator is a window decorator, just like emerald. I was expecting it to be a generic window decorator which then took plugins like emerald. I was going to ask about the name, since it seems more specific to gtk than to compiz, but I see now. I presume there's a gui way of changing decorators, too? Danek
