[ Li Yuan, Di., 8. Jan. 2008 ] > One question is how do we handle remote applications that show on the > current display?
In 2006, we discussed three possible solutions for this: a) Use application-to-application D-Bus messages via TCP/IP (rather than the system bus) for remote applications only. All applications would need to be able to handle this special case. b) Write a proxying demon that tunnels the necessary accessibility messages via TCP/IP. c) Extend D-Bus to support the remote case, e.g. by writing a proxying demon. This would also be very useful for other users of D-Bus, such as desktop services. David Zeuthen (from Red Hat) once said at an OpenAccessibility phone conference that his company would be interested in having such a solution. For authentication, Bill Haneman suggested to reuse the solution written for CORBA/AT-SPI. Do I remember it correctly that an ID is passed via XAtom? If someone with knowledge of the CORBA/AT-SPI implementation details can explain how exactly it is currently done for AT-SPI, then this would be great.
