echoing George here, i think this is a good idea in principle, especially i=

it gets integrated in as many places as there are patches for in your sourc=

i'm installing it today and will look at the kcm and other bits as i can.

now for the stupid question: why are the .desktop files called ._tcp? is th=

a mDNS standard or is it specific to your dnssd?

i don't think this would be very efficient, really. a better way might be t=
o=20
add support for mDNS to the FreeNX server and client. this would solve the=

big issue of how to do automatic discovery for NX on the network. it could=
=20
also advertise applications that the NX admin has approved for use over the=
=20
network, and that should be a bit more controllable/efficient.

what do you think?

just downloaded version 66.3 from the darwinsource site and, ignoring their=

rather unorthodox and undocument build system (not to mention altering=20
my /etc/init.d on make install, wtf?), it didn't even compile here (SUSE 9.=
1=20
on x86_64).

so maybe while they are at it they could patch mDNSCore/DNSDigest.c:
