Currently, setup.sh install some tools and libraries into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin in order to start etoile_system without source the GNUstep.sh. Wouldn't it be easier to have a script called start_etoile.sh: #!/bin/sh source /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh etoile_system We can have this script installed in /usr/local/bin and have etoile.desktop execute this script. In this case, we don't need setup.sh and setupdown.sh anymore. I did something like that to start Azalea through gnome-session some time ago. The other issue I have is the possibility to start etoile_system without menu server. Frankly, I haven't try it yet, but I tend not to use menu server on my small 12-inch screen for now. In another word, does etoile_system is as flexible as a script for startup Etoile system ? If not, maybe a script to start everything is a better solution. But it is not that important for now, I would say. Have fun. Yen-Ju
I notice there are several methods relating to communiting with other GNUstep application. While Azalea manage all applications (including GNUstep) as regular x window applications, AZDock does handle X window application through X window system and GNUstep application through GNUstep. In other word, it overlaps between X window system and GNUstep (NSWorkspace). I think we can gather these common methods together to reduce the redundancy. Currently, AZDock can tell GNUstep application to hide and terminate. It would be nice to know when a GNUstep application start and finish starting. It is done with startup notification in Gnome (maybe KDE) (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fstartup_2dnotification). That's pretty much I can think about now. :) Yen-Ju
