Sure, wrap the actual DBus calls with a simplied sugar/python method if you like, but *please* let's implement a listener for that API so that unmodified applications can interact sensibly with Sugar, and so that our system tools & activities can interoperate with non-Sugar window managers. Similarly, we should really implement that standard freedesktop.org startup notification spec, so we can get sensible notifications and icons for 'ordinary' applications. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
