No. This was Volker's dccm implementation, and nowadays he is very busy and no longer does any work on it. It is advised only to be used in pre-WM5 devices, and the numbers of people with pre-WM5 these days are very small. Ole Andre was implementing WM5 support in vdccm, but found it hard to get anywhere with the way that vdccm is written, and so he wrote odccm. > While connection events are passed via dbus in addition to > ~/.synce/csock, password requests only go via the socket.

To be honest, I would suspect the way forward would be to add pre-WM5 support to odccm. I've never really looked at the dccm implementations, but I do expect that would a bit of a bigger job than simply adding these aforementioned methods. However, as I also mentioned earlier, with the way that vdccm is written, I expect adding this stuff on might be tricky. vdccm tends not to use any frameworks, whereas odccm uses frameworks galore. As I said earlier, I haven't dabbled with the dccm implementations so I'm not sure how hard it would be to add pre-WM5 support, so I asked oleavr. He said it wouldn't be hard for someone with a wm2003 device and a basic understanding of C/GObject. -- Jonny Lamb, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jonnylamb.com GPG: 0x2E039402
