I do not want to see GNOME broken because CORBA failed to deal with these problems. The N in GNOME stands for "Network", Unix domain sockets are far from "Network" in this regard. On the other topics, I think Elliot has made some very good comments that would benefit us all. > But I'm not very well informed about GNOME's .gnorba files and their > structure, however I think we _could_ put these three types of entries > into the common .desktop file standard as they're used commonly between > both environments. We just might want to agree on standard names of them. Sticking every bit of information you need in a .desktop file is broken. It might be ok for some people used to Windows, or to the SuSE config setup, but I do not want a gigantic file /etc/The-System to control the whole system. And bloating .desktop files is exactly the same in this regard. "We need to add more information, where should it go?" The answer varies, but it is definetly not "on the .desktop file". Cheers, Miguel.
