I had the same thought - when we were discussing the feasibility of a multi-process plugin framework for the new viewer (on the -dev list an irc channel), these kind of input things came to mind as one case where a separate process might make sense. So far nothing has been implemented in that direction, apart from the ng communications module (IM) using telepathy with dbus. ~Toni > On Apr 8, 7:04 pm, Toni Alatalo <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Paul Fishwick kirjoitti: >> >> >>> Nice article -- has anyone tried using something like this in >>> conjunction with >>> the realxtend viewer?
