Right.

I would have agreed with the shlib solution if this didn't require re-writing
the current apps. Separating apps and components in order to keep only
one KApplication per process is IMHO a pain for no big win.
Given what we currently have, improving the CORBA layer is indeed the way to go.
Yes, we'll have to convert apps from CORBA containers to QTL, but this doesn't include
re-designing them.
Hehe, Torben was right about this 4 months ago :)

Is there an application form ?
I volunteer especially for the script-writing needs (to convert apps). :)

Teamwork ? Oh that is so much unlike you (and me) !! :)))
[ Simon and I _love_ teamwork :) ]

Hmmm, how does a fast decision process takes place on a mailing-list ?
If nobody objects within 5 minutes we start ? :)
