Hmm, I just answered no didn't I. Well, the exact answer is that it depends on what you'll do with it. In fact, afaik, it does for the notification stuff. But I'm at this moment still studying and getting myself understanding the overall architecture of DBUS. So I suggest forwarding your question to the dbus mailinglists :-) The architectural idea of a DConf without daemon wont depend on D-BUS. The current idea is to make the interface with the system dat is now being drawn as the daemon a pluggable one. Therefore it will be possible to plug a new implementation of that interface. This implementation might simply omit the functionality that can't be implemented within the technological possibilities of the dependencies of your plugin. Like in case you don't want your system to support notification of changes. Please do note that all this is in very early stages of design. We have a good overview of what we want. We know how to do it. We are planning to do a meeting with a few experienced and highly interested developers (but please keep it a little bit silent as we don't want "over my dead body" - people visiting our meeting). ps. but IMPORTANT! I don't have any time estimations. I'm not promising that this project will ever succeed. I'm not promising it will ever be more than a prototype or a concept. -- Philip Van Hoof, Software Developer @ Cronos home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org work: philip dot vanhoof at cronos dot be junk: philip dot vanhoof at gmail dot com http://www.pvanhoof.be/ _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
