Great, thanks. That's nice. Looks like we aren't yet launching apps this way from Unity; do you know when that's due to happen? > In the non-prototyping stage you can use libupstart-app-launch which has > similar functions in it.

I guess that would mean I'd need either upstart-app-launch-tools or Python bindings to libupstart-app-launch. FWIW I think it'd be really handy to have upstart-app-launch-tools in the image; it'd be great for the situations when you're trying to debug what's wrong on somebody else's device. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers Post to : ubuntu-appstore-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
