Freedesktop is supposed to be OS-agnostic. Setting a key in the .desktop file will signal the compliant desktop to change the kill priority on the OS, whether that OS is Linux, BSD, or even Haiku. Some OSes may not support this function, and it can be ignored.
For the Linux use case, the desktop launcher checks the kill priority in the .desktop file and modifies oom_adj. This seems perfectly sane. Daniel _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
