I'm not sure anyone's really thought of the conventions behind using each field for something specific. You'd need to ask Alex, he wrote it after all :) > Ideally I think we'd allow Gossip and Pidgin to ask something like > "give me all XMPP accounts on the keyring," I guess that would use the > "protocol" field?

What if you delete an > account in the app's account manager screen? Apps would need to agree on what/how to store it. I guess that right now, it's good enough if the app that inserted the details can read it back. > A specific use-case is that if I've already logged in to Google in > either Firefox or BigBoard, I think Gossip or Pidgin when first > started up should default to knowing that same account info. How? I personally log in to google with my personal mail address, don't have any GMail account, and have a @googlemail.com Jabber address. I'm not sure how apps are supposed to link all those (and they'd need access to the cookies, another thing to share, to be able to screenscrape). -- Bastien Nocera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
