anyway, given that the tools for developing d-bus interfaces are so much nicer than for some x11 property based protocols, i wonder whether it wouldn't be possible to create an x11 transport for d-bus (possibly in form of an x11 extension)? as a bonus, one wouldn't have to deal with environment variables and additional firewall setup. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
