I don't think you need to define the o.fd.pm interface in the desktop base. I think saying "at least something will provide o.fd.pm" is good enough; for instance: XFCE can just build the interface into the base session layer with a thin wrapper around HAL GNOME can use gnome-power-manager KDE can use kpowersaved or guidance-power-manager but as far as an ISV is concerned, the software can call Shutdown and the session powers down nicely. > Anyway, in consideration of David's mail and what importance he gives > to > that spec, I really like to hear more comments from the desktop > people. Yes, this would be great. Richard. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
