I think asking application authors to patch their apps to use that interface is a lot less nice than say asking them to add this key, and then if we decided that using the extant oom_adj kernel interface was the way to go, the desktop UI could set oom_adj when launching the app (after fork, before exec if it's inherited, otherwise take the small race condition and set it after invocation). > Hmm, I am not aware that on Linux we have anything like a low-memory > signal.

We can work out the exact details of how all the components interact after the fact. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
