Hello all, The last we touched this issue we were kind of stuck with python kcontrol modules kind of working except when you have more than one python module. Trying to run a second python module in the same process (kcontrol) runs into disaster. (just doesn't work). Is this correct summary of the current situation?
Now, what is interesting in kcontrol is that when you run a root-only module by clicking on the "Administrator Mode" button the module is then started up outside kcontrol (using kcmshell I think) in a separate process and the contents of the module are then embedded in the kcontrol window. To the user it looks all normal, but under the surface the module is running in its own process. Could this same approach be used to run python modules in kcontrol? (Instead of having an "Administrator Mode" button, python modules would have to be always started out-of-process and then embedded. Yes, kcontrol would have to modified a little bit.) I'm fairly sure that it can, but I want to ask you guys too just to be safe. I've been helping out with the "KDE on Debian" project lately and being able to write modules in python is highly desired capability to say the least. :) cheers, -- Simon Edwards | Guarddog Firewall [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.simonzone.com/software/ Nijmegen, The Netherlands | "ZooTV?
