But that presence is backed by Gaim, right? So that leaves it up to Gaim to dictate session user presence, based on some IM account. This isn't a good idea IMO - Gaim isn't what I'd consider to be a desktop service! This idea sits underneath Gaim, or whatever app you wish to choose that might be interested in *real* session user presence, as in the actual presence of a user at the computer seat. -- Alex Jones http://alex.weej.com/ _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
