Hiya, I would like to add the following information to desktop files somehow: * DCOP-service-name. If not present it defaults to the name of the executable. * DCOP-service-type: App / Unique-App / None - App means multiple instances (processes) of this application can be launched. Instances of the application register themselves to DCOP with DCOP-service-name+"-"+getpid(). - Unique-App means the applicaions handles everyhting from one process. The aplication registers itselves to DCOP with DCOP-service-name. - None means that the application does not register itself to DCOP. Suggestions for names to use in the .desktop files are welcome. This is a change for apps in the "App" category. Currently they just try to register themselves as e.g. "kio_http" and DCOP will honour these requests as "kio_http", "kio_http-2", "kio_http-3", etc.. In the future they will have to register themselves as "kio_http-1182", "kio_http-1185" etc. depending on their pid. This allows the trader, (currently called KLauncher so that it doesn't interfere with the existing KTrader object) to find out in a reliable way when an application is ready to accept DCOP requests. Cheers, Waldo
