*shrug* I remember that we (Matthias, Vytas, and I) discussed D-Bus, Bonobo, and Bacon (since there were several Gnome applications using each of those for their single-instance mechanism) and X (which Matthias brought up and also since Mozilla/Firefox uses it for its single-instance mechanism). However, I no longer recall any details about this particular choice since I was more interested in the WM interaction details (surprise, surprise). It may have been that Vytas was familiar with D-Bus and Bacon and we figured it was more important to get other details worked out first, but I just don't remember. However, Vytas did design GUnique to make the backend easy to transparently replace. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
